He is an Asian American poet who was two when he immigrated with his family to the United States from Vietnam. I chose this poet to explore because I found my identity resembles that of him, as I'm also an Asian and an immigrant. Vuong's poems include his struggles with the identities of his ethnicity and family relationships, which I believe I could emphasize and relate to. ]]> 2023-09-03 22:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/anniey24/a6ofh94o5506ljat/wish/2682551984 For one poem, select an image you find complements it. Add the relevant lines and try to avoid being literal. anniey24 https://padlet.com/anniey24/a6ofh94o5506ljat/wish/2682552052 If I should wake & the Ark
the Ark already
gone
...
If I nationed myself
in the shadow
of a colossal wave

the way death enters
anything fully
without a trace

How so much of the world passes through the pupil and still it holds nothing. The eye, alone in its socket, doesn't even know there's another one, just like it, an inch away, just as hungry, as empty.]]> 2023-09-03 22:20:16 UTC https://padlet.com/anniey24/a6ofh94o5506ljat/wish/2682552093 For another, explore your thoughts on the significance of the title. anniey24 https://padlet.com/anniey24/a6ofh94o5506ljat/wish/2682552167 The poem Anaphora as a Coping Mechanism describes the experience of the narrator after the significant loss of a relationship. Coping mechanisms in the title of the poem refers to the way the narrator deals with this loss. Anaphora, in this case, may refer to poetry writings, as the narrator often writes poetries to release his melancholy.

Is it a specific person? A group of people? Who needs to hear it? anniey24 https://padlet.com/anniey24/a6ofh94o5506ljat/wish/2682552321 I believe that the intended audience of the poem "Someday I’ll Love Ocean Vuong" is Ocean Vuong himself. The poem addressed Vuong's past traumas and misfortumes. The poet directly addressed himself by offering condolences such as "Ocean, don't worry," and "don't be afraid."]]> 2023-09-03 22:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/anniey24/a6ofh94o5506ljat/wish/2682552321
