Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong

adventurous dark emotional informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

3.5

 I was excited to dive into this poetry collection. One thing you will get from Vuong is vulnerability and an openness that will grab you as you begin to tap into his story.

It is a deeply personal story about depression, grief, and loss. I think Vuong tells a great story, it's just that I was sometimes lost in the delivery and struggled with messaging. There's deep and there's too deep and unnecessarily complex.

Nevertheless, poetry again is a personal thing so I think it's one you'll have to read on your own and make your own conclusions about.
