BEFORE AND AFTER
Night Sky with Exit Wounds — Ocean Vuong
•••
The first time I read Ocean Vuong's writing, specifically his poem On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous (he has a novel by the same name), a window opened in a corner of my brain I did not realize had been closed — language could be used like this (like anyway we want it to, of course!?). There is a before experiencing Ocean Vuong and an after. This book contains that poem and is a collection I regularly return to.

Instructions for Healing Within View of Those Who Have Wished You Harm — Anna Lena Phillips Bell
•••
A friend of mine just shared this poem with me from inside the latest issue of Bitter Southerner and I did indeed cry at the idea of shaking it.

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous — Ocean Vuong
•••
My world changed the first time I read Ocean Vuong's writing, which was this poem in a December 2014 issue of Poetry Magazine. I recommend listening to any interviews he's done. What a remarkable human.

Everything is Waiting for You — David Whyte
•••
This poem (and this interview) changed my life. Nearly ten years in its company and still think of it all the time to remind myself of just how much we belong, in our fullness.
