Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong

challenging dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced

2.0

I appreciate Ocean's vulnerability, which is clearly given as a gift to his readers, but the style and content of the poetry wasn't my preference. The images often felt disjointed to a point where I had a hard time grasping the substance of each poem. I felt rather distracted by the competing details. I'd still like to try his memoir which I've heard is breathtaking and heartbreaking, but this didn't work for me.
