Inhaltsangabe
Vaan Nguyen has been described as “a veritable juggler of Hebrew,” a poet whose work radically remixes world classics and pop culture, the personal and the political, past and present. Born in 1982 in Israel to refugees of the Vietnam War, Nguyen’s debut collection The Truffle Eye addresses questions of identity and cultural legacy from what she has described as “points of emotion and shock.” Her poems travel far and wide, between Tel Aviv and Hanoi, taking in views of Manhattan, Paris, Milan, Salzburg, Pasadena and more. Through these movements, Nguyen reflects on how our lives take shape in the daily migrations we make between lovers, family, work, and the places we call home.

Packing Poem
In the rice bowl, green bananas
and peels, dry castor beans in a jar,
feathers and mulch outside the window
this is how they still gather evidence.
The chopsticks rest diagonally
matching the movement of birds along a waterfall.
How do they stall their transmission and keep eating ricebefore their night migration?
Under the cover of delusions,
all I wanted was to warn everyone “there’s Armageddon”
and ask whether foreigners have
inflatable boats.
And those paranoid, paranoid women, have nothing
but these gallows
for overloading muscles
for stretching the body
in the gym
a woman lying naked in the sauna gossips under her breath
and the thoughts escape her
all at once
either the meds work or the mind is numb
but sometimes, if you concentrate, you can hear an airplane landing
