85-94 was great. Sorry is a word that has so much meaning and definition. It’s a word with power intensified by intent. A word with such power can also mean nothing at all. A lot of words are like that. Language can mean everything or nothing. Emotion and life are the munition that gives language power.

I like the literary device of nonlinear story telling. It’s a reflection of how thought works, bouncing from one idea or memory to another, not always in a straight line. Memory is “a flood” as Vuong says. So is his writing.

Each section is very circular in its literary ideas and form. Sometimes that form and repetition is so subtle it’s hard to notice because the first instance of it will happen at the start of the section, and only repeated at the very end. I find it entertaining to seek out and a very clever way of writing

I like the poetics thus far
