Signed copy of Nguyen, Joshua: Come Clean

University of Wisconsin Press Publication Date: November 30, 2021 Publisher Marketing: Joshua Nguyen's sharp, songlike, and often experimental collection explores the concept of compartmentalizing past trauma--sexual and generational--through the quotidian. Infused with the Shinto-inspired organizing practices of KonMari and the catchy nihilism of Mitski's songs, the poems in Come Clean unpack, organize, and tidy up life's messy joys and hurtful chaos with intimacy, grace, and vulnerability.
