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 ER -
