Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong

5.0

What a wonderful set of poems. My heart is full.

Some of my favorite quotes:

From Snow Theory: "How else do we return to ourselves but to fold The page so it points to the good part"

From The Last Dinosaur: " O human, I'm not mad at you for winning but that you never wished for more."

From  Woodworking at the End of the World: "Then it came to me, my life. I remembered my life the way an ax handle, mid-swing, remembers the tree. & I was free."
