Rainbow Skies: Time Is a Mother

Welcome to Rainbow Skies! Every month, we meet to discuss a story with LGBTQIA+ representation. You're welcome to our monthly in-person meetings on the second Saturday of every month or to participate virtually. 

This month's read is Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong. 

In this deeply intimate second poetry collection, Ocean Vuong searches for life among the aftershocks of his mother’s death, embodying the paradox of sitting within grief while being determined to survive beyond it. Shifting through memory, Vuong contends with personal loss and the meaning of family. At once vivid, brave and propulsive, Vuong’s poems circle fragmented lives to find both restoration as well as the epicenter of the break.
