This original, sprightly wordsmith of tumbling pulsing phrases pushes poetry to a new level. His collection, \u201cNight Sky With Exit Wounds,\u201d forms an autobiography of sorts, tracing relationships with fathers, mothers, and lovers, and with a country that Vuong left when he was a young boy. The imagery in his work is often shimmeringly beautiful, but it\u2019s cut through by intimations of violence and its after effects. The collection is a stunning introduction\u00a0to 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.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Telemachus<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Like any good son, I pull my father out <br \/> of the water, drag him by his hair<\/p>\n<p>through white sand, his knuckles carving a trail <br \/> the waves rush in to erase. Because the city<\/p>\n<p>beyond the shore is no longer\u2028<br \/> where we left it. Because the bombed<\/p>\n<p>cathedral is now a cathedral\u2028<br \/> of trees. I kneel beside him to see how far<\/p>\n<p>I might sink. <em>Do you know who I am,\u2028<br \/> Ba? <\/em>But the answer never comes. The answer<\/p>\n<p>is the bullet hole in his back, brimming <br \/> with seawater. He is so still I think<\/p>\n<p>he could be anyone&#8217;s father, found <br \/> the way a green bottle might appear<\/p>\n<p>at a boy&#8217;s feet containing a year <br \/> he has never touched. I touch<\/p>\n<p>his ears. No use. I turn him <br \/> over. To face it. The cathedral<\/p>\n<p>in his sea-black eyes. The face <br \/> not mine\u2014but one I will wear<\/p>\n<p>to kiss all my lovers goodnight: <br \/> the way I seal my father&#8217;s lips<\/p>\n<p>with my own &amp; begin\u2028<br \/> the faithful work of drowning.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Homewrecker<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&amp; this is how we danced: our mothers&#8217;\u2028<br \/> white dresses spilling from our feet, late August<\/p>\n<p>turning our hands dark red. &amp; this is how we loved:\u2028<br \/> a fifth of vodka &amp; an afternoon in the attic, your fingers<\/p>\n<p>through my hair\u2014my hair a wildfire. We covered <br \/> our ears &amp; your father&#8217;s tantrum turned<\/p>\n<p>to heartbeats. When our lips touched the day closed <br \/> into a coffin. In the museum of the heart<\/p>\n<p>there are two headless people building a burning house. <br \/> There was always the shotgun above<\/p>\n<p>the fireplace. Always another hour to kill\u2014only to beg <br \/> some god to give it back. If not the attic, the car. If not<\/p>\n<p>the car, the dream. If not the boy, his clothes. If not alive, <br \/> put down the phone. Because the year is a distance<\/p>\n<p>we\u2019ve traveled in circles. Which is to say: this is how <br \/> we danced: alone in sleeping bodies.
