claudcloud 's review for:

Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong
3.5
dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective fast-paced

I'll be the first to admit that poetry is not my strong suit, so I'm mainly rating this based on vibes - some of the poems in this collection left me breathless, while others were not as impactful, but the fact remains that Vuong is a master of language, and I'd be very interested to pick up his novel, "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous"!
