Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong

dark reflective medium-paced

3.0

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.
