Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong

robinks's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Similar to Night Sky with Exit Wounds, the run on sentences made some poems really hard for me to follow. Overall, however, I felt the impact of these poems, their imagery and select phrases.

challenging dark emotional hopeful reflective sad slow-paced

4.25

This is the first work of poetry I have read and I don’t know if anything will ever live up to this. Vuong’s works are lyrical and flowing and amazing.
