TIME IS A MOTHER - OCEAN VUONG GEBUNDEN

The highly anticipated collection of poems from the award-winning writer Ocean Vuong  How else
do we return to ourselves but to fold  The page so it points to the good part In this deeply
intimate second poetry collection  Ocean Vuong searches for life among the aftershocks of his
mother's death  embodying the paradox of sitting within grief while being determined to survive
beyond it. Shifting through memory  and in concert with the themes of his novel On Earth We're
Briefly Gorgeous  Vuong contends with personal loss  the meaning of family  and the cost of
being the product of an American war in America. At once vivid  brave  and propulsive  Vuong's
poems circle fragmented lives to find both restoration as well as the epicenter of the break.
The author of the critically acclaimed poetry collection Night Sky With Exit Wounds  winner of
the 2016 Whiting Award  the 2017 T. S. Eliot Prize  and a 2019 MacArthur fellow  Vuong writes
directly to our humanity without losing sight of the current moment. These poems represent a
more innovative and daring experimentation with language and form  illuminating how the themes
we perennially live in and question are truly inexhaustible. Bold and prescient  and a
testament to tenderness in the face of violence  Time Is a Mother is a return and a forging
forth all at once.
