Time Is a Mother
Ocean VuongDanezDay 2 #sealeychallenge Time Is A Mother by Ocean Vuong. Love the epistolary poems, love how this funny speaker that is so alive in this book. Great to see a great poet still playing despite what voice some might expect from him. A legit fun read with great heartbreak and care. https://t.co/Dpcf39Xn7K https://t.co/3BkHSUT9Bg

Notes by HandDanezI wrote it by hand, after the club, in a big green notebook where I took notes for the Randolph MFA and wrote ars poeticas after @AngelNafis reminded me that poems are supposed to love something, hold something, unless they be dust. Let the best poems be an endless stone.
