Time is a mother / Ocean Vuong. - London, UK : Jonathan Cape, 2022. - 85 pages ; 23 cm.
"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." -- Inside cover
