Poet Kim Nguyen reviews Dream of Me as Water for DVAN.
David Ly’s Dream of Me as Water is ultimately a touching read because of how down-to-earth it is. The collection does not pretend to know things it does not know, and takes the reader on a journey to find things out together. As we weave in and out of dreams and travel through the past and present, we uncover truths and even more questions, but we are comforted by Ly’s poetic reassurance that we are all just people, trying to figure it out.
