Explores many themes from his novel but in different formats and layouts and styles, such as stream of consciousness or writing in a letter format. Really masterful and engaging, will reread and lend to a friend

This is one of the best poetry collections I've ever read. Vuong writes absolutely stunningly--I don't think I've ever read a poem of his I didn't love. His writings about his father hit me the hardest. I'd absolutely recommend this book to anyone who likes poetry at all, and maybe even anyone who doesn't.
