5/23/2023 0 Comments Night sky with exit wounds author![]() ![]() One poem, “Seventh Circle of Earth”, about the men murdered in Dallas, is a poem only written in footnotes. Some poems are succinct and land gently on the page, while others fill up the page with blocks of prose. ![]() One of the most enjoyable parts of the book for me was the different forms Vuong adapts. The lines, “There is so much that I want to tell you” and “There is so much that I need to tell you” repeat throughout the poems, calling the reading into Vuong’s world, echoing how sharing these stories is cathartic to Vuong. It tells his parent’s stories of the war in Vietnam, and his own stories of intimacy and immigration as a gay, Vietnamese immigrant, growing up in America. It tells the story of the gay couple murdered in their home in Dallas in 2011. It tells the story of South Vietnam when the U.S Armed Forces evacuated in April of 1975, as Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas” crooned through the streets. Ocean Vuong’s 2016 poetry collection, Night Sky With Exit Wounds, tells the story of the immigrant working in a nail salon in New York as she learns the English alphabet. ![]() ![]() ![]() ❃ I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. ![]() When her blissful summer takes an unexpected turn and Takumi becomes her knight with a shiny library-employee badge (close enough), Alice has to decide if she’s willing to risk their friendship for a love that might not be reciprocated-or understood.

There was only two ways to listen to pop music in 1970: radio or 45 RPM records. Otherwise my career would be over before it got started. I had to do something special, something that complimented the lyrics yet stood on its own as a narrative, something that would still be compelling even without hearing the music. It would be easy for my film to get lost in their shadow. In 1970 The Beatles were the biggest phenomenon in pop music. You might say I couldn’t I miss with a Beatles song, right? Wrong. This is a blow-by-blow account of those 24 hours. I was a bull pawing the ground ready to charge. Everything else was up to me. No problem. I wouldn’t be paid for it and the show was under no obligation to hire me if they didn’t like what I came up with. I had exactly one day to turn it into a music video-film. ![]() ’The Long and Winding Road’ by The Beatles was my first assignment. ![]() |
