I don't think I need to explain how incredible this is.

After I finished reading I continued to flick through the blank pages that come at the end, needing to finish it properly

I’m not really into poetry most of the time, but Ocean Vuong is such a sorcerer with words, I couldn’t wait to read this one. Since I’m not a poetry person, most of it was likely wasted on me. But the parts I understood were beautiful. I read Dear Sara many times, it’s my favorite.
“…it doesn’t
Have to make sense
To be real—“
And
“Where none of us
Are children long enough
To love it”
