Still buzzing from the Ocean Vuong event last night for @broadsidebks ✨🌸!!! It was such a joy to introduce and converse with him. Vuong delivered such a stunning, duende-drenched reading & gave capacious, brilliant answers after sprinkled with heartfelt humor & so much JOY!

Got a question for Ocean Vuong? Send us a DM with your name, where you are from, and your question, & Ocean might just answer your question at our event tomorrow night! ♥️

@TinaM_MWP @TianaClarkPoet So do we!! ♥️

@broadsidebks @TianaClarkPoet I may have to watch then while I’m in Paris. I love Ocean’s new book and @TianaClarkPoet’s brave work.

I’m really excited and looking forward to introducing and being in conversation with the luminously brilliant Ocean Vuong this Thursday (5/19) @broadsidebks in Northampton, MA💗✨🙌🏽! I’ve been told the event will be live-streamed.

What better way to celebrate #nationalpoetrymonth than by attending the one and only Florence Poetry Carnival on Saturday, April 30th. 💛 Because, yes, poetry absolutely can have its own carnival!! instagram.com/p/CcBR_U9psbJ/…
