“4 after 4 by William Blake” Published in Jacket2

A suite of four poems by Hoa Nguyen—“Of Sorrows and Arrows,” “Architects Of Place Grove Of Staghorn Sumac,” “But What of Enmeshment,” and “Taboo Expressions”—is now featured in Jacket2 as part of “The imagination is not a state”: A folio in honor of William Blake, curated by K Prevallet and edited by Magda Andrews-Hoke.

Gathering twenty-two poets, artists, and thinkers, this folio collects poems, soundscapes, and visual reflections that channel Blake’s visioning. Nguyen’s entry, “4 after 4 by William Blake,” walks the rim of wounds, moves through dream, and interacts with energetic lineages.
