On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

So so so beautiful!!! Includes heavy topics so read with caution. Vuong’s writing is just so gorgeous and I can’t wait to read some more. This is definitely a book I’ll reread, and if you like poetry you’ll like this. One of my fave lines: ‘let no one mistake us for the fruit of violence - but that violence, having passed through the fruit, failed to spoil it.’
