Poetry. Asian American Studies. "Hung Q. Tu's poetic modules are not 'pieces' in the traditional sense--that is, staged, subjectively actored and assumedly audienced, they are more like an intelligent arraying of graffiti that you'd run into in a modern city's sub-throughway, perhaps a bit run-down, but with a shiny glass building across the street..."--Rodrigo Toscano. "Hung Q. Tu's poems push the mind into a nest of steel rods all hitting the surface of an unknown shape at the same moment: political and quotidian, in language demotic and arcane they acutely render the beauty of scorn"--Tom Raworth.
