As Long As Trees Last

Nguyen will be active at AWP in February, 2012 and her presence in Wave's booth (where she'll be performing tarot readings) will help to garner early interest and awareness about her forthcoming book. We will work for features, interviews, reviews and excerpts in Jacket2, The Rumpus, HTMLGiant, Bookworm, The Poetry Project, Coldfront, Publishers Weekly, The Believer, Bookslut, Bookforum, etc. We will promote this title through events mailings, social media, on our homepage and on the author's page on our website (http://www.wavepoetry.com/authors/79). We will promote this book in conjunction with Nguyen's readings and appearances in the US and in Canada.

It's not a time to run I wear soft shoes and it took a long time to walk here Hoa Nguyen is the co-founder of Skanky Possum. She lives in Toronto, Ontario.
