time is a mother is a reflective book of poems on grief, identity, time, and violence, w/ my fav being the brilliant "not even." the poems are raw, intermittently punctured w/ unusual imagery and turns of phrase tinged with death and the body, startling in their honesty and originality, though they can be a lil confusing at times.

God this was incredible. Ocean Vuong is such an amazing poet and I'm so glad I get to read his work. I don't even know where to start--this collection is just so so good. I wrote down so many lines and notes. I read a library copy but I absolutely want to own this book so I can read it again any time.
