"Jennifer Nguyen's collection, When I die slingshot my ashes onto the surface of the moon, is a haven for lonely souls, insomniacs, the abandoned and the forgotten. It is both blanket fort and paper boat. I want to curl up within her words, like a cat. Jen's poems remind me to pay attention, to be gentle to myself and to others. Self-deprecating, funny and sincere, they retain a childlike awe." - Shu-Ling Chua (Australian Poetry Journal)


'In When I die slingshot my ashes onto the surface of the moon, Jennifer Nguyen asks how does one live and keep living. It is beautiful, contemplative, humorous, absurd and unique. Her poems are dreamlike and yet so visceral. Very moving.' - Emma Co (Bookseller, Better Read Than Dead)
