{"product_id":"il-tempo-e-una-madre","title":"Time Is a Mother (Il tempo è una madre)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this deeply intimate collection, Ocean Vuong journeys through memory, time, and lived experiences. The starting point is the loss of his mother and the painful process of grieving. Moving through memories, and in harmony with the themes of his novel \"On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous,\" the author speaks to us about the meaning of family, his Vietnamese origins, and the paradox of being the product of an American war while living in America. Original and incisive, Vuong’s poems recount not only his complex relationship with his beloved mother but also themes of addiction, discrimination, and contradictory, fragmented lives that nonetheless preserve their beauty and uniqueness. His attention to detail, to everyday objects, and to particulars that most overlook is striking. Despite a great evocative intensity, the verses are not without irony—often sharp—and experiment with both language and form. Tender, brave, and engaging, the author of \"Night Sky with Exit Wounds\" appeals to the saving power of poetry to project himself toward the future, toward life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Ocean Vuong\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOcean Vuong is a Vietnamese American poet and novelist.
