Description

Hieu Nguyen’s bruising collection of poems, This Way to the Sugar, puts a blade and a microscope to nostalgia, tradition, race, apology, and sexuality, in order to find beauty in a flawed world. His work has been described as “an astounding testament to the power and necessity of confession.” This powerful book asks whether it might be better “to leave the blade inside the body,” whether “forgiveness will bleed you thin.”
