Inquiry

<p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Alex Van Huynh's first collection takes us into the deep inquiries of a mind fully engaged with both the known and unknowable. Informed by mythology history religion and science these poems explore the whole world in miniature where the pores of the earth pull beneath the sands as well as the vast expanses of sky and sea where drifting things must come naked. Huynh's subjects are often reminded our condition is temporary but he is a voice who is establishing a permanent place for himself in American poetry. (from </span><strong style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Hayley Mitchell Haugen</strong><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> editor-in-chief of </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Sheila-Na-Gig</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> and author of </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>The Blue Wife Poems</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>)</span></p>
