The Smallest God Who Ever Lived
A Collection of Fragmented Wounds

This lyrical debut poetry collection explores the soft devastations of grief, identity, obsession, and quiet survival. The Smallest God Who Ever Lived is not a book of answers, but of witnessing — a mirror for the fractured, a prayer for the enduring, and an intimate journey through the fragile beauty of what remains after everything has burned.
Thanh Dinh’s voice moves with both emotional precision and poetic ache, weaving existentialist themes with sharp tenderness. These are poems for the ones who weren’t saved but chose to stay anyway. For the readers who know what it means to carry their ghosts gently.
"I wrote this for the days I needed saving and no one came."
Perfect for fans of Ocean Vuong, Sylvia Plath, Trịnh Công Sơn, or anyone drawn to poetic works of raw emotional clarity.
This NetGalley ARC includes a bonus first chapter of Dinh’s forthcoming literary novel Kill My Darling — a dark romance of obsession, addiction, and doomed love.
I’m an indie author seeking thoughtful early reviews to help this collection find its way to the readers who need it most.
