Hoa Nguyen has cultivated a loyal readership over the decade during which these poems were written through establishing and taking part in journals (editing the acclaimed journal Skanky Possum), readings and reading series, teaching, and poetic activism. This book will be of interest to her friends who are poets, professors, former and current students. With the combination of wider distribution with As Long as Trees Last and the release of Red Juice: Poems 1998-2008, Nguyen is gaining a larger audience of readers of contemporary poetry. Her feminist and ecological politics make this an interesting book for teaching. Nguyen teaches at Ryerson University in Toronto, CA. This book may provide an opening to gaining a wider readership in Canada, while frequent teaching and reading engagements in the US will maintain her American fan base.
