Homeward

by Duy Quang Mai

Confessions, Hanoi winters, fast-paced action and deeply thoughtful poetry awaits. Duy Quang explores his own identity while reflecting on the natural and built worlds around him.

— Simon Traub-Epstein, International Library of Young Authors

From the publisher: “In this chapbook, Duy Quang has tried to build a threshold that leads to the questions of belonging, internal loss and coming-of-age identity. Each page is tender, sometimes cutting with confessions. But all combined, will hopefully beat your way somewhere soft with light. These poems encase several types of homes, the physical ones, the rib-shed ones. To read them is easy. You just have to turn the doorknobs. Then enter.”
