I love, love, love how Ocean's answers are like teaching as art.
YES
How does this only have 30K views? This is beautiful.
Incredible!! Ocean Vuong is a beautiful deep brilliant being. I loved when he talked about how capitalism has shaped our metaphors and language and the force of productivity on all our lives.
In a good way?
In a way that makes aware of how language shapes us.
how did Darin manage to act so nonchalant hearing these wonderful things!
What a brilliant teacher! Riveting.
"I had to be more BUTCH to write the novel" - I'm dying
Breathtaking in his trembling vulnerability and razor like clarity of vision of the great complexity of human experience- riveting!

"Memory is a second chance"

OMG YES
This is so amazing
excellent interview and i like the film quality.
Does anyone know who the authors are that he referenced while speaking about yin and yang philosophy?
good reply
Lao Tse, author of The Tao Te Ching, was the first name he mentioned.
i can tell you about him , but you can google it too . But all of that still don't give you the experience of this young man . Like when Vuong still student in NJ , at night he drove on his bicycle collect left over food at restaurant and share it to homeless peoples . At one of his award he toke his MOM with him , she can not stand straight because back pain . he said she got the pain form years working as nail tech , and those not straight back are the ladder help kids me to stand here to day ...... thank you MOM . I hope you can feel his soul understand the love he in words ...... Beethoven eyesight was temporarily his hearing was not good but his music touch many soul . Pleas stop asking who said that , who did that , where it come from . just look at how it touch your soul . ......... that is the beauty of art .
The second author he mentioned is Du Fu. If you can read Vietnamese, one good book about yinyang is "thuyết âm dương ngũ hành".

The word laughter derived from slaughter.
I will never again eat veal. It’s a promise I intend to keep

The terrible and emotionless introduction nearly ruined the fatanstic reading by Ocean Vuong.
thank you Langley for this clown. laughter is always good
poetry is dead.
In your brain it dies
@@hello50881 😂 excellent
Mawkish, fey, amateurish, talentless, disingenuous, unimaginative, sub-literate...Like 90% of modern poetry.
WHAT
