schreibt Voung in “Beautiful Short Loser” aus seinem neuen Gedichtband “Time is a Mother”. Und “breaking open” das tut er in seinen Gedichten über die Suche nach Leben nach persönlichen (Tod seiner Mutter) und sozialen Verlusten. Ist die Trauer auch noch so gross, so schwingt doch immer auch Hoffnung in seinen Gedichten mit (“ich wurde geschaffen, um zu sterben, doch ich bin jetzt hier, um zu bleiben”). Voung schreibt provokativ auch über die Wunden des modernen Amerika aus Sicht eines Immigranten. Herausstehend dabei das Gedicht “Amazon History of a former Nail Salon Worker”. Voung’s Stimme ist dabei unverwechselbar. “Take your time with these poems, and return to them often” schreibt die Washington Post so treffend.

Delving back into the visceral themes that made his 2019 novel On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous a revelation' TIMEIn 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. Vivid, brave and propulsive, Vuong's poems contend with personal loss, the meaning of family, and the value of joy in a perennially fractured American spirit.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. 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.'Further confirms Vuong as one of the most important poets of his generation' Andrew McMillan, author of Physical
