Krátky popis
Winner of the 2017 T. S. Eliot Prize'Reading Vuong is like watching
a fish move: he manages the varied currents of English with muscled
intuition.' New YorkerAn extraordinary debut from a young
Vietnamese American, Night Sky with Exit Wounds is a book of poetry
unlike any other.Steeped in war and cultural upheaval and wielding
a fresh new language, Vuong writes about the most profound subjects
- love and loss, conflict, grief, memory and desire - and attends
to them all with lines that feel newly-minted, graceful in their
cadences, passionate and hungry in their tender, close attention:
'...the chief of police/facedown in a pool of Coca-Cola./A
palm-sized photo of his father soaking/beside his left ear.' This
is an unusual, important book: both gentle and visceral, vulnerable
and assured, and its blend of humanity and power make it one of the
best first collections of poetry to come out of America in years.
'These are poems of exquisite beauty, unashamed of romance, and
undaunted by looking directly into the horrors of war, the silences
of history. One of the most important debut collections for a
generation.' Andrew McMillan Winner of the 2017 Felix Dennis Prize
