Time Is a Mother By Ocean Vuong
Feb 10, 2024 
Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong is a deeply intimate second poetry collection that grapples with the aftermath of his mother’s death. In this haunting and poignant work, Vuong navigates the paradox of sitting within grief while being determined to survive beyond it. The poems shift through memory, touching on themes of personal loss, family, and the impact of being a product of an American war.
Drawing inspiration from his critically acclaimed novel “On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous”, Vuong’s poems circle fragmented lives, seeking both restoration and the epicenter of the break. This collection represents a daring experimentation with language and form, illuminating the inexhaustible themes we perennially live in and question.
