Ghost Of is a mourning song, not an exorcism or un-haunting of that which haunts, but attuned attention, unidirectional reaching across time, space, and distance to reach loved ones, ancestors, and strangers. By working with, in, and around the photographs that her brother left behind (from which he cut himself out before his death), Nguyen wrestles with what remains: memory, physical voids, and her family captured around an empty space. Ghost Of was selected by Terrance Hayes to win Omnidawn's Open Poetry Book Contest. It was also a finalist for the National Book Award and L.A. Times Book Prize.
