Night Sky with Exit Wounds Review

Night Sky with Exit Wounds by Ocean Voung, a 80 page poetry collection.

An extraordinary debut from a young Vietnamese American, Night Sky with Exit Wounds is a book of poetry unlike any other. Steeped in war and cultural upheaval and wielding a fresh new language, Vuong writes about the most profound subjects – love and loss, conflict, grief, memory and desire – and attends to them all with lines that feel newly-minted, graceful in their cadences, passionate and hungry in their tender, close attention

I rate this book 3/5 stars.

I was heaving high hopes from Ocean Voung, and it was so not what I was looking for that I remove another of his book from my personal wishlist. The poems didn't really resonate this me. I've never been in a position he or his parent have been in, but the poems didn't really elicit a reaction from me. If the book was a different size the poems could've fit better on the pages. There are quite a few where there is like 1-3 line on the next pages and it really is a pet peeve of mine. What he does really well is set a scene within his poetry, so that I what I really liked.

Maybe with a few more years under my belt, I can appreciate this a little more.

Do you have any questions? Or maybe some recommendations? Send me an ask here on Tumblr or tweet me.  If you wish to support me, you can buy me a coffee! Or even buy my debut fantasy novel, The Mending Road.

In Vietnamese, the word for missing someone and remembering them is the same: nhớ. Sometimes, when you ask me over the phone, Con nhớ mẹ không? I flinch, thinking you meant, Do you remember me?

I miss you more than I remember you

On Night Sky with Exit Wounds, we will be utilizing only two member-groups: accepted characters and author accounts. To make up for it, you are fully in control of customizing the colours of all your on-site accounts. Additionally, these two custom colours will also take over the site's skin default accents - choose them wisely. The screenshot above is the first half of the post row section of your main profile application, featuring live previews for your post-row avatar (dimension: 300x350) and two hexadecimal accent colours.

A small snippet of our traditional post row and a few of our post templates, demonstrating how your custom accents interact with our overall site aesthetic.

#This might be the last skin-related preview for a hot minute as we gear towards getting our write-ups and lore finalised. #nswew: previews

The application looks seriously amazing! Any more previews of it? Dark mode?

We do have a dark mode! However, its influenced by your custom colour choices, so its a bit difficult to showcase. Here's a comparison to the previous screenshot(s) provided with the same character's colours vs another's for reference.
