Ocean Vuong — A Life Worthy of Our Breath
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.
