Notes From Your Bookseller
If you were as moved by Ocean Vuong’s novel On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous as we were, then now is the moment to absorb his poetry in Time Is a Mother. And then we urge you to go back to his debut poetry book, Night Sky with Exit Wounds. Voung’s lyrical writing runs through all his books — whether poetry or prose. You will always do right to keep his work at the ready.
