About

In Ocean Vuong’s Night Sky with Exit Wounds, poems like “Telemachus” and “Trojan War” engage with Homeric narratives through the lens of personal and collective experiences. Timed to the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, this workshop will open with a discussion of poems by Vuong, as we consider how this Vietnamese American writer expands the Great Conversation. We will then write our own poems to further explore Vuong’s creative strategies.
