Poetry Reading: "Lyric Archipelagos: A Poetics of Diaspora and Grief"

Diana Khoi Nguyen, University of Pittsburgh

Diana Khoi Nguyen’s poetry explores the haunting intersections of loss, memory, and family across generations, grappling with the ways displacement and grief transform those we love. Through poems of raw honesty, Nguyen examines how past traumas reverberate into the present and asks what new roots might take hold in the fractured soil of a family’s shared story.
