Descriere Night Sky with Exit Wounds - Ocean Vuong

\nOne of the most celebrated poetry books of the year: \nThe New Yorker, The Best Books of Poetry of 2016 \nNew York Times, Critics Pick \nBoston Globe, Best Books listing \nNPR, Best Books listing \nMiami Herald, Best LGBTQ Books \nSan Francisco Chronicle, Top 100 Books of the Year \nLibrary Journal, Best Books of 2016 \nMichiko Kakutani in The New York Times writes: The poems in Mr. Vuong's new collection, Night Sky With Exit Wounds...possess a tensile precision reminiscent of Emily Dickinson's work, combined with a Gerard Manley Hopkins-like appreciation for the sound and rhythms of words. Mr. Vuong can create startling images (a black piano in a field, a wedding-cake couple preserved under glass, a shepherd stepping out of a Caravaggio painting) and make the silences and elisions in his verse speak as potently as his words...There is a powerful emotional undertow to these poems that springs from Mr. Vuong's sincerity and candor, and from his ability to capture specific moments in time with both photographic clarity and a sense of the evanescence of all earthly things.Reading Vuong is like watching a fish move: he manages the varied currents of English with muscled intuition. His poems are by turns graceful and wonderstruck. 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.--The New YorkerThe language is painfully, exquisitely exact, the scenes haunting and indelible.... Highly recommended.--Library Journal, starred reviewNight Sky with Exit Wounds establishes Vuong as a fierce new talent to be reckoned with...This book is a masterpiece that captures, with elegance, the raw sorrows and joys of human existence.--Buzzfeed's Most Exciting New Books of 2016 This original, sprightly wordsmith of tumbling pulsing phrases pushes poetry to a new level...A stunning introduction to a young poet who writes with both assurance and vulnerability. Visceral, tender and lyrical, fleet and agile, these poems unflinchingly face the legacies of violence and cultural displacement but they also assume a position of wonder before the world.--2016 Whiting Award citationNight Sky with Exit Wounds is the kind of book that soon becomes worn with love.
