Time is a Mother by Ocean Vuong

challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

At first, when I began this collection, I found it hard to keep up with the pace of writing which was panicked yet very much exciting. When I got to ‘No one knows the way to heaven’, I loved it. The last poem in particular has genuine merit and I really love the journey of the collection, which to me was most evident in the pace. 

The poem for the author’s mother was particularly moving. I really recommend this author, particularly for fellow LGBTQ+ readers. A tremendous success!
