Shifting through memory, and in concert with the themes of his novel \u003ci\u003eOn Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous\u003c\/i\u003e, Vuong contends with the meaning of family and the cost of being the product of an American war in America. At once vivid, brave, and propulsive, these poems circle fragmented lives to find both restoration as well as the epicenter of the break. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe author of the critically acclaimed poetry collection \u003ci\u003eNight Sky with Exit Wounds\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the 2016 Whiting Award, the 2017 T. S. Eliot Prize, and a 2019 MacArthur fellowship, 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 perennially live in and question are truly inexhaustible. Bold and prescient, and a testament to tenderness in the face of violence, \u003ci\u003eTime Is a Mother\u003c\/i\u003e is a return and a forging forth all at once.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOcean Vuong\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the critically acclaimed poetry collections \u003ci\u003eNight Sky with Exit Wounds\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTime Is a Mother\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling novels \u003ci\u003eOn Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Emperor of Gladness\u003c\/i\u003e.
