Poetry. Asian American Studies. In Hoa's Nguyen's HECATE LOCHIA tutelary spirits and local elements find their articulation in the found object-poems of a ritualized domesticity. These poems track with immediacy the various roles and pressures--of motherhood, marriage, keeping house, work and writing--that become the occasions in which to celebrate the phenomenal world.

From Publishers Weekly Born in Saigon, raised in Washington, D.C., and now living in Austin, Tex., Hoa Nguyen tongue-in-cheekily channels Your Ancient See Through, making time and space "numb where the knowledge knife is gifted/ and owl nimble-necked blinks at me." Nguyen, half of Skanky Possum magazine's editorial team and its related press, offers nearly 80 short poems in six sections (matched with line drawings by Philip Trusell) that refuse to accept experience as currently processed for consumption, and apply a steely whimsicality to its refiguration: "Bring specific flowers I will not know the names of/ Slowly pump your arms as you walk by." The results are immediate and unique: "the center is/ light green... the tender part/ is the newest part." Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.

"[Nguyen] shares such a streetwise feminism, keeping the edge and making it something you can dance to."—The Poetry Project
Clear-eyed and grounded, Hoa Nguyen performs a hook and snare on what it means to be a twenty-first century human in the nearly ego-less space of these chiseled yet spacious poems.
It's not a time to run I wear soft shoes and it took a long time to walk here

"Hoa Nguyen's poems probe dailiness to divorce us from our base assumptions about how language might present the world to us. Her poems comprise some of the most inviting lyrics I've found in a living poet."—Bookslut
"Phrase by phrase Nguyen's work can be conversational, playful, funny, angry, acutely self-aware, and loaded with sensory information."—Anselm Berrigan, from the introduction
Red Juice represents a decade of poems written roughly between 1998 and 2008, previously only available in small-run handmade chapbooks, journals, and out-of-print books.

[BUDDHA'S EARS ARE DROOPY TOUCH HIS SHOULDERS]
Buddha's ears are droopy touch his shoulders as scarves fly out of windows and I shriek at the lotus of enlightenment
Travel to Free Street past Waco to the hole in the Earth wearing water
I'm aiming my mouth for apple pie
