Köp båda 2 för 308 krNight Sky With Exit Woundsstartled me with its urgency and its relevance. A eerily sure-footed debut. -- Rupert Thomson * Observer, Books of the Year * Vuong writes with a piercing, dreamlike clarity. -- Tristram Fane Saunders * Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year * Reading Vuong is like watching a fish move: he manages the varied currents of English with muscled intuition His lines are both long and short, his pose narrative and lyric, his diction formal and insouciant. From the outside, Vuong has fashioned a poetry of inclusion. * New Yorker * Ocean Vuong is one of my auto-buy authors. I keep recommending his Night Sky With Exit Wounds to everyone; I cant shout loud enough about it I have quite a complicated relationship with whats considered "classical poetry" but then someone like Ocean Vuong comes along, and hes doing something so exciting that you cant help but get caught up in it. -- Sara Collins * Refinery29 * The poetry is a conduit for a life in which violence and delicacy collide I like the fragility, resilience and the sense that the stories that need telling are hardest to tell a difficulty Ocean Vuong is courageously minded to overcome. -- Kate Kellaway * Observer * There is a powerful emotional undertow to these poems that springs from Mr Vuongs sincerity and candour, and from his ability to capture specific moments in rime with photographic clarity and a sense of the evanescence of all earthly things. -- Michiko Kakutani * New York Times * Ocean Vuong is the Walt Whitman of Vietnamese American literature. Lyrical, expansive, sexual, provocative, he sings of the Vietnamese body and of Vietnamese history. -- Viet Thanh Nguyen * Literary Hub * The operatic voice of the book is vulnerable and unpredictable. Some of its strongest poems are also the strangest It is an impressive, uneven, moving book about painful and important subjects and is the work of a young poet who might, excitingly, say anything next. -- Jeremy Noel-Tod * The Sunday Times * Many of the poems in this, Vuongs debut collection, achieve lift-off amid comparable scenes of drama and desperation This is a book full of promise. -- David Wheatley * Literary Review * Vuong writes in what may be one of the most unfashionable modes of recent decades, in the richly meditative style of Rainer Maria Rilke. And, almost unbelievably, he does so successfully Vuongs roomy, cool, risky poems are more than promising, and this is an exciting and compelling book. -- John McAuliffe * Irish Times * Taking war and cultural upheaval in its stride, Night Sky with Exit Wounds is an assured but open debut collection. Its accessible to non-poetry readers while offering sufficient depth to keep the experts engaged. -- Aimee Grant Cumberbatch * Evening Standard * If you only read one new book of poetry this year, make it Ocean Vuongs game-changing debut collection. Night Sky With Exit Wounds is breathtakingly beautiful, gut-wrenching and sublime Phenomenal. * Attitude * One of the most extraordinary first collections of poems in recent memory The poems sear through the heart, Vuong finding the words and feelings to capture moments with complete clarity. -- Alex Scott * Cent * His style is not unlike a wall of sounds, a relatively consistent, arrestedly pubescent palette of desire and obsession, turned up high enough to hit the pulse. -- Declan Ryan * Times Literary Supplement * From its opening lines...the book brims with precise, surreal, erotic imagery Vuong authoritatively lays claim to a range of symbols and tropes... Vuong possesses a large and unusual imagination Night Sky with Exit Wounds is a remarkable debut. Where Vuong is headed is anyones guess, but youll want to go with him. -- Paul Batchelor * New Statesman * Vuongs intimate lyrical voice, his precise, stark imagery and engagement with gay sexuality construct a familiar story of loss Balancing memory and silence with erudit
