desertcart.com: Time Is a Mother: 9780593300251: Vuong, Ocean: Books

Review: Wonderful on so many levels - Smart, soulful, lyrical, accessible, so satisfying at so many different levels. I want to learn to write prose poetry so I can use it in my art work. While I am unlikely to write up to its level, this book has certainly shown me how it is done
Review: A Poetic Odyssey Through Time and Loss - Ocean Vuong's "Time Is a Mother" navigates the depths of grief with lyrical grace, echoing lines like "How else do we return to ourselves but to fold / The page so it points to the good part." Through these intimate verses, Vuong captures the essence of mourning while celebrating resilience and the enduring bonds of family. This collection is a profound exploration of life's complexities, where every poem resonates with emotional truth and poetic ingenuity.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful when understood
*by M***E on August 9, 2023*

Some imagery was breathtaking but the whole of each work was hard to read with broken lines and little punctuation. It was difficult to follow and required too much work to access. Reread several times, the poems did give up some overall arc but there was little to draw my attention at first and draw me into the greater depths. I want that little glimpse of understanding right at the first that leaves me wanting more.
