Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong

challenging emotional reflective sad

I'm a bit torn because while some poems were really beautiful (American Legend really stood out to me), other poems felt rather inaccessible to me. Maybe that's because they're very personal and specific, or maybe I just have to take some time, reread them, and mull them over some more. Either way, I'm still a big fan of Vuong's writing style – it's endlessly fascinating to me how he creates meaning with his language.
