Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong

challenging dark emotional lighthearted reflective sad fast-paced

4.0

I thought this might be too out-there for me, but I actually really enjoyed it. There is an unexpected, jumbled quality to many of the poems that made me chuckle, despite the heavy subject matters. There is a narrative woven into the seemingly unrelated lines. No one I have ever read uses words quite like Ocean Vuong. Striking, dark, hilarious, beautiful. Worth the read.
