His urgent uncompromising queerness is refreshing, his seductive sensuality spellbinding and his singular modern voice brings an appealing perspective to his narrative flow. He’s an easy read, but you’ll quickly get carried away by his undercurrents into spaces and places you’d perhaps never thought of exploring or even realised existed.
This book is a magical journey into the imagination and talents of Vuong’s mind and worth pursing for anybody interesting in poems which can change, more spells than sentences, they alter reality as we read them and leave us impressed and impressed upon by this astonishing young man’s collection of debut work.
This is a beautiful, challenging and softly stunning collection of writing and worth reading to remind ourselves of how universal are our feelings.
