Overview
A book-length poem about the tumultuous relationship between two queer Vietnamese immigrants.
When a young man undergoes electroconvulsive therapy to quiet memories of childhood abuse, he alienates himself from his partner, creating a volatile, at-times violent rift in their relationship. As the couple clashes over how best to address and cope with mental illness, they must confront the painful history that they have so desperately tried to escape.
Nghiem Tran’s debut collection wrestles with the terror of vulnerability, the limits of devotion, and the dark joy of self-destruction.
