Krátky popis
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 value of joy in a perennially fractured American
spirit. Vivid, brave, and propulsive, Vuong's poems circle
fragmented lives to find both restoration as well as the epicentre
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 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.
