- Krista interviewed the wise and wonderful writer Ocean Vuong on March 8, 2020, in a joyful, crowded room full of podcasters in Brooklyn. A state of emergency had just been declared in New York, but no one guessed that within a handful of days such an event would become unimaginable.
Most stunning is how presciently, exquisitely Ocean speaks to the world we have come to inhabit- its heartbreak and its poetry, its possibilities for loss and for finding new life.
“I want to love more than death can harm. And I want to tell you this often: That despite being so human and so terrified, here, standing on this unfinished staircase to nowhere and everywhere, surrounded by the cold and starless night - we can live. And we will.”
Ocean Vuong is the author of a novel, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, and two collections of poetry, Time Is a Mother and Night Sky with Exit Wounds, which won the T.S. Eliot Prize and the Whiting Award. He was a 2019 MacArthur Fellow.
This episode last aired on May 3, 2023.

What a beautiful talk. Thank you. May we have the courage to be tender and the strength to be vulnerable.
We can live, and we will.
Brilliant and human. One of the best podcast interviews I´ve ever heard.
Beautiful
Listen closely, children! Tiny Tim is about to give a speech; let us attend to his precious words lest he perish!
Ogre says what?
@@sixtynine2856 ogre says you are a sex-obsessed sophomore who should examine his heart and realize morally & aesthetically he is bound for hell :)

Yes, truly - let us invent a time machine to transport us to the moment that the Vietnam War broke out so that we may prevent it and keep Ocean Vuong from being born. Imagine, centering yourself in such a horrible conflict! Yikes. Not a very Buddhist approach, my dude!
?
@@justyami it is extremely self-centered to postulate that the best thing to come out of a senseless war in which hundreds of thousands of people died is one's own damned self; I don't think any human being needs to go to such lengths to claim to be "special". This dude has a deranged god complex. Every person on this planet is here because of conflict in one shape or another. I would certainly rather have had no Vietnam War than one Ocean Vuong!
