Born in the Mekong Delta,
Born in the Mekong Delta, Hoa Nguyen was raised and educated in the United States and has lived in Canada since 2011. Hoa has had the privilege to work and teach all over the United States and Canada and is the author of several books including As Long As Trees Last, Red Juice: Poems 1998-2008, and Violet Energy Ingots which received a 2017 Griffin Prize nomination. Her fifth book of poems, A Thousand Times You Lose Your Treasure was named a finalist for a Kingsley Tufts Award, National Book Award and the Governor General’s Literary Award and has garnered additional support from The Poetry Foundation, Library Journal, and the Los Angeles Review of Books. Her writing has been promoted by such outlets as Granta, PEN American Center, CBC Books, Boston Review, The Best Canadian Poetry series, Poetry, The Walrus, and Pleiades. In 2019, she was nominated for a Neustadt International Prize for Literature, a prestigious international literary award often compared with the Nobel Prize in Literature.
A well-regarded and popular teacher of creative writing, she has more than twenty years’ experience teaching across genres in intimate workshops and large lectures in community, undergraduate, and graduate settings. She is a 2022-2023 Visiting Practioner at Toronto Metropolitan University and a mentor for writers as part of the graduate programs at Guelph University and the University of Toronto. In addition, since 2015, she serves as faculty at Bard College’s MFA Program in the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts where she was named Co-Chair of the discipline of Writing in 2020.
“Nguyen’s work is a poetics insistent on fragmentation and rupture as a mode of thinking and being in the world–one where, paradoxically, the very notion of fragmentation is, in itself, a whole. Her poems remind us that meaning, as we understand it, does not have to adhere to standard conventions of syntax–thereby faithfully echoing the most pervasive and perennial human emotions of loss, displacement, serration and, perhaps most vital of all, a necessary sense of wonder and joy before the world. Her work is rich with the permission-giving power of alternative thinking and feeling–and is vital for anyone who cares about language and its possibilities.” —Ocean Vuong
