Time Is a Mother

Ocean Vuong's Time Is a Mother is a deeply intimate and innovative poetry collection that explores the themes of personal loss, family, and the cost of being the product of an American war in America.

Through vivid and brave poems, Vuong searches for life among the aftershocks of his mother's death, contending with memory and the meaning of existence.

This highly anticipated second poetry collection is a testament to tenderness in the face of violence, and a return and a forging forth all at once.

With language that is both raw and radiant, Time Is a Mother is a must-read for anyone looking for a powerful and moving exploration of the human experience.
