Time is a mother / Ocean Vuong.

Vuong, Ocean, 1988- (author.). Vuong, Ocean, 1988- Poems. Selections. (Added Author).

Summary:

"Ocean Vuong's second collection of poetry looks inward, on the aftershocks of his mother's death, and the struggle - and rewards - of staying present in the world. Time Is a Mother moves outward and onward, in concert with the themes of On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, as Vuong continues, through his work, his profound exploration of personal trauma, of what it means to be the product of an American war in America, and how to circle these fragmented tragedies to find not a restoration, but the epicenterof the break"-- Provided by publisher.
