Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs in Exile, and Other Poems I know that all beneath the moon decays, And what by mortals in this world is brought In Time's great periods shall return to nought; That fairest states have fatal nights and days. I know that all the Muses' heavenly lays, With toil of sprite which are so dearly bought, As idle sounds, of few or none are sought; That there is nothing lighter than vain praise. I know frail Beauty's like the purple flower, To which one morn oft birth and death affords; That Love a jarring is of minds' accords, Where sense and will bring under reason's power: Know what I list, this all can not me move, But that, alas, I both must write and love.

Excerpt from book: MISCELLANEOUS POEMS. THE SERPENT. Canada, the time approaches, And is even now at hand, When thou must declare what ruler Thine allegiance shall command. In thy midst there creeps a Serpent? Deadliest of all thy foes? Gliding in among thy councils, Spreading venom where she goes. Like the fatal boa-constrictor Charming those who soon must die, She can so transfix her victim By the glitter of her eye, That the greatest of thy statesmen Dares not question her decree, But in meek humiliation Bows to her, abjuring thee. Rise, Canadians ! and boldly .Thrust the Serpent from your land; And should any strive to help her, Crush them with your martial hand. Rise unanimous, and fear not In your country's cause to fight; Better bloodshed than surrender To the wily Serpent's might. Hurl from power the men who basely Truckle to the Serpent's will; Cast them out and call on others? Truer men?their place to fill. Men whose chiefest aim shall be to Fight for Canada and home? Men who will not bow before the Dictates of the Church of Rome. Canada, the time approaches, And is even now at hand? Wilt thou choose that Rome or England Thine allegiance shall command ? PRO DEO ET PATRIA. Silent yet fiercely the battle is raging; Blood is not flowing, but poison is spread; Freedom and slavery madly are waging A war that will last till its cause shall be dead. Canada, thine is the field of the battle, Nor would the conflict be long or severe, Were not thy statesmen, like dumb, driven cattle, Led by emolument, daunted by fear. Slowly advances the Jesuit faction, Crafty and subtle the means they employ. Protestants fight, but uncertain their action? Party dissensions their power destroy. Love ...

Download or read book Night Sky with Exit Wounds written by Ocean Vuong and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2016 Whiting Award One of Publishers Weekly's "Most Anticipated Books of Spring 2016" One of Lit Hub's "10 must-read poetry collections for April" “Reading Vuong is like watching a fish move: he manages the varied currents of English with muscled intuition. His poems are by turns graceful and wonderstruck. His lines are both long and short, his pose narrative and lyric, his diction formal and insouciant. From the outside, Vuong has fashioned a poetry of inclusion.”—The New Yorker "Night Sky with Exit Wounds establishes Vuong as a fierce new talent to be reckoned with...This book is a masterpiece that captures, with elegance, the raw sorrows and joys of human existence."—Buzzfeed's "Most Exciting New Books of 2016" "This original, sprightly wordsmith of tumbling pulsing phrases pushes poetry to a new level...A stunning introduction to 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.”—2016 Whiting Award citation "Night Sky with Exit Wounds is the kind of book that soon becomes worn with love. You will want to crease every page to come back to it, to underline every other line because each word resonates with power."—LitHub "Vuong’s powerful voice explores passion, violence, history, identity—all with a tremendous humanity."—Slate “In his impressive debut collection, Vuong, a 2014 Ruth Lilly fellow, writes beauty into—and culls from—individual, familial, and historical traumas. Vuong exists as both observer and observed throughout the book as he explores deeply personal themes such as poverty, depression, queer sexuality, domestic abuse, and the various forms of violence inflicted on his family during the Vietnam War. Poems float and strike in equal measure as the poet strives to transform pain into clarity. Managing this balance becomes the crux of the collection, as when he writes, ‘Your father is only your father/ until one of you forgets. Like how the spine/ won’t remember its wings/ no matter how many times our knees/ kiss the pavement.’”—Publishers Weekly "What a treasure [Ocean Vuong] is to us. What a perfume he's crushed and rendered of his heart and soul. What a gift this book is."—Li-Young Lee Torso of Air Suppose you do change your life. & the body is more than a portion of night—sealed with bruises. Suppose you woke & found your shadow replaced by a black wolf. The boy, beautiful & gone. So you take the knife to the wall instead. You carve & carve until a coin of light appears & you get to look in, at last, on happiness. The eye staring back from the other side— waiting. Born in Saigon, Vietnam, Ocean Vuong attended Brooklyn College. He is the author of two chapbooks as well as a full-length collection, Night Sky with Exit Wounds. A 2014 Ruth Lilly Fellow and winner of the 2016 Whiting Award, Ocean Vuong lives in New York City, New York.
