Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong

challenging emotional reflective

3.75

For many of these poems I appreciated the beauty but not the meaning. My most common reaction to each poem was "Wow that was lovely/beautiful/poignant. Wish I understood what it meant." Thankfully this is a brief collection - just over 100 pages - so it wasn't long enough for me to feel totally lost.

I'm not sure I'd recommend this to anyone who isn't ready for a book of emotional poems that require a lot of thought to interpret.
