Atlas of the Body
Ficton. Growing up in poverty in the American south, Maya yearns to escape and find something better than anything she's known. "She is so hungry. It is not food, but everything else, the world...What she needs is not on her street with the one-eyed houses. It is not in the patch of trees she once thought was a forest. It is beyond, somewhere she can't quite imagine."

Eliot Prize and a 2019 MacArthur fellow, Vuong writes directly to our humanity without losing sight of the current moment.
