Poetry in Prose
Ocean Vuong’s writing is a thing of rare beauty. I can’t love this book any more for his creativity in telling a story that, at times, is painful but “gorgeously” told. I also loved getting different perspectives on cultural issues and experiences that we take for granted. This is how we learn about everyone who is part of our earthly journey.
