Time Is A Mother

Ocean Vuong

What We Say: Compassionate and affecting, Vuong’s masterful poems explore grief, the determination to survive beyond it and the meaning of family with the same poise as his novel On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous.

What They Say: “Vuong’s poems passionately and inventively articulate the difficulties of understanding and accepting selfhood alongside the varieties of life beyond it” – Times Literary Supplement
