Review Quotes: "If there is a book that profoundly puts together a recording of one's life through poetry, it would be Lan P. Duong's debut collection Nothing Follows. Duong transports us into her childhood and adulthood, investigating what it means to be a refugee trying to recover their family, loss, and the gaps that exist when one is forced to find a home in another's land." --Emily Velasquez, Soapberry Review
