Il tempo è una madre. Testo inglese a fronte
In questa raccolta profondamente intima, Ocean Vuong viaggia nella memoria, attraverso il tempo e le esperienze vissute. Il punto di partenza è costituito dalla perdita della madre e dalla dolorosa elaborazione del lutto. Spostandosi fra i ricordi, e in sintonia con i temi del suo romanzo "Brevemente risplendiamo sulla terra", l'autore ci parla del significato della famiglia, delle sue origini vietnamite, del paradosso di essere il prodotto di una guerra americana pur vivendo in America. Originali e incisive, le poesie di Vuong raccontano non solo del suo complesso rapporto con l'amatissima madre, ma anche delle dipendenze, della discriminazione, di vite contraddittorie e frammentate che tuttavia conservano la loro bellezza e unicità; colpisce l'attenzione riservata al dettaglio, all'oggetto di uso quotidiano, al particolare che ai più sfugge. Nonostante una grande intensità evocativa, i versi non sono privi di ironia, spesso tagliente, e sperimentano sia con il linguaggio che con la forma. Tenero, coraggioso e coinvolgente, l'autore di "Cielo notturno con fori d'uscita" si appella al potere salvifico della poesia per proiettarsi verso il futuro, verso la vita.
