Ocean Vuong's poems are full of wounds, full of doubt, full of love. A new collection from the author of the bestseller "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous."
"I was made to die, but I am here now to stay," writes Ocean Vuong in his new poetry collection, which includes a moving elegy for his deceased mother. The pain and joy, the violence and tenderness, the otherness of desire and social background, the split identity of the immigrant child – in "Time is a Mother," the themes of his acclaimed novel "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous" reappear, along with provocations like the poem "Amazon History of a Former Nail Salon Worker." Vuong's voice is unmistakable. No one has written more piercingly and intimately about the wounds of America in our time.
