Alex Van Huynh's first collection takes us into the deep inquiries of a mind fully engaged with both the known and unknowable. Informed by mythology, history, religion, and science, these poems explore "the whole world in miniature," where the "pores of the earth pull beneath the sands," as well as the vast expanses of sky and sea, where "drifting things must come naked." Huynh's subjects are often reminded "our condition is temporary," but he is a voice who is establishing a permanent place for himself in American poetry. (from Hayley Mitchell Haugen, editor-in-chief of Sheila-Na-Gig and author of The Blue Wife Poems)
