艾略特獎得獎詩人王鷗行繼《此生,你我皆短暫燦爛》全新詩集。以充滿實驗性、大膽又纖細的詩句,聚焦於從越南來到美國相依為命的母親逝世的哀痛,再次翻開與母親的種種回憶,重新思考家庭的意義,與悲傷共處重拾生活。The highly anticipated collection of poems from the award-winning writer Ocean VuongHow else do we return to ourselves but to fold The page so it points to the good part In this deeply intimate second poetry collection, Ocean Vuong searches for life among the aftershocks of his mother’s death, embodying the paradox of sitting within grief while being determined to survive beyond it. Shifting through memory, and in concert with the themes of his novel On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, Vuong contends with personal loss, the meaning of family, and the cost of being the product of an American war in America. At once vivid, brave, and propulsive, Vuong’s poems circle fragmented lives to find both restoration as well as the epicenter of the break. The author of the critically acclaimed poetry collection Night Sky With Exit Wounds, winner of the 2016 Whiting Award, the 2017 T. S. Eliot Prize
