Jacobs\u003c\/b\u003e (Translator)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVaan Nguyen has been described as \"a veritable juggler of Hebrew,\" a poet whose work radically remixes world classics and pop culture, the personal and the political, past and present. Born in 1982 in Israel to refugees of the Vietnam War, Nguyen's debut collection \u003ci\u003eThe Truffle Eye\u003c\/i\u003e addresses questions of identity and cultural legacy from what she has described as \"points of emotion and shock.\" Her poems travel far and wide, between Tel Aviv and Hanoi, taking in views of Manhattan, Paris, Milan, Salzburg, Pasadena and more. Through these movements, Nguyen reflects on how our lives take shape in the daily migrations we make between lovers, family, work, and the places we call home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVaan Nguyen is the author of the poetry collections \u003ci\u003eThe Truffle Eye\u003c\/i\u003e (Ma'ayan Press, 2013) and \u003ci\u003eVain Ratio\u003c\/i\u003e (Barchash, 2018).
