This summer, Ill be packing his poetry collection... Im looking forward to being still and having the space to read and reread his powerful words. -- Dua Lipa * Guardian, *Summer Books 2023* *These 28 accomplished poems explore grief, trauma, family... Language itself, in all its power and violence, falls under Vuongs incomparable scrutiny. * Financial Times, *Summer Reads of 2022* *Tender and heartbreaking ... Delving back into the visceral themes that made his 2019 novel On Earth Were Briefly Gorgeous a revelation, Vuong traverses the intensely personal and the broadly political with grace and courage. * TIME *Theres something about Vuongs writing that demands all of your lungs. The succinct line arrangement and absence of full stops in poems... force you to breath heavy. * Observer *Vuongs... poems passionately and inventively articulate the difficulties of understanding and accepting selfhood alongside the varieties of life beyond it. * Times Literary Supplement, *Books of the Year* *Not since Emily Dickinson has poetry found such an oceanic openness of the selfs quiet laceration and cautious resilience. In Time Is A Mother Ocean Vuongs words are bullets travelling through the page and hitting us with debris resembling our memory of art, love, grief and acts of survival... We find ourselves being salvaged and released into a world where a word, a turn of phrase, or a line makes a difficult moment bearable. There is a violent process of fermentation in Vuongs poems that keeps poetry pungent, truth-seeking and unerasable. -- Kit Fan, author of Diamond HillVuong writes... with such a sensitive scrutiny, breathtaking in its expression. * Financial Times, *Books of the Year* *[A] stirring collection of poetry. [Vuong] experiments with language and form while probing the aftermath of his mothers death and his determination to survive it. Take your time with these poems, and return to them often. * Washington Post * Review Quote A remarkable return: Vuongs unparalleled luminosity of phrase, his perfected pinpoint accuracy of image is here placed alongside a thrilling expansion of voice and gaze which further confirms Vuong as one of the most important poets of his generation.
