"Ocean Vuong's second collection of poetry looks inward, on the aftershocks of his mother's death, and the struggle -- and rewards -- of staying present in the world. TIME IS A MOTHER moves outward and onward, in concert with the themes of On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, as Vuong continues, through his work, his profound exploration of personal trauma, of what it means to be the product of an American war in America, and how to circle these fragmented...

Description
New poems from one of the major poets of her generation, along with a selection of the best from previous collections.

In the title poem, she reimagines the technological simplicities and humanistic verities of the past with a disorienting detachment.

Description
UNPEOPLED EDEN opens in Mictlán, the region of the dead in Aztec mythology, inviting us down into a world where "the men are never coming home" and "rows of ghosts come forth to sing." Haunted by border crossers and forgotten deportees, lost brothers and sons, González unearths the beautiful and musical amidst the grotesque.
