I will never overlook Ocean Vuong in my search for books to read in the future. How this young man came to such wisdom is a gift to our world. Thank you Ocean Gorgeous!
Watching this man in interviews is astonishing. He makes every question’s answer feel valuable. I can’t stop looking at videos of him because he tries his utmost every time to provide you with something meaningful.
I was tearing up listening to you Ocean. I just finished reading your book. "They say that nothing lasts forever and I'm writing you in the voice of an endangered species" You're indeed an endangered species.
I know I'll probably get filtered out for timestamping, but around 37:30 was the part I saw from a short by TH-camr/writer Prince Shakur that made me search up this interview. With the prior statements about desiring what's essentially forbidden/not moving on (which I can also relate to), puts the clipped short in further perspective. I'm a year late on that clip, and four years late on this interview, but I'm glad to have caught this.
I went from a casual glance of The Poets & writers magazine with Ocean Vuong's photo on the cover to being moved to tears watching and listening to Ocean recite some of his poems on TH-cam. What a treasure this gentle spirited poet is!

Absolutely a wonderful event. So happy it was filmed and shared!! What a delightful conversation! Thank you!
I was not able to make this reading though I very much wanted to, as it was sold out. So happy that it's online, and so proud of this wonderfully talented Vietnamese American writer. *ugly cry*
I also feel that literary connection you speak of. Furthermore, through the curious coincidence of our shared family name I am inclined to feel a connection to you personally as well. Woodford is a relatively common name. We are probably not related. But , having looked at your saved videos it became clear that we seem to share numerous tastes and lifestyles. Just thought I would reach out and make this observation.
So glad to read your prompt reply. I'm curious to know more about you. If you would like to write to me, you can do so at woodford.dp@yahoo.com I would welcome an email from you and would reply. So far as I know, self distancing still allows for electronic communication .

I could listen to him all day long
Good Lord; the way this young man is expressing his thoughts and feelings - I'm totally blown away. And so humble, gentle!
Can't agree with you more !
So freakin' articulate it kills me!
This is the best interview in the history of interviews!
Ocean is a gift.

Leave it to an immigrant to celebrate the English language. Ocean Vuong has added a certain richness to American literature.
Well, the majority of Americans are immigrants.
OMG my favorite authers in the same place.
Thank you.thanks.
His softness is so beautiful 🥲
I'm agree
I was tearing up listening to you Ocean. I just finished reading your book.

You're indeed an endangered species.

Nice, you didn't get filtered out 🔥
I am catching up right now, discovered Prince Shakur's channel yesterday... so, better late than never 💯
There’s something in his voice that make me want to tear up only by listening to it 🍀
can we just appreciate how he didn't once stutter reading the passage. he hold extreme power in his words.
This man is an artist of words. Melodically beautiful, strong and so stimulating.
What a beautiful person he is. I'm so impressed by Ocean Vuong.

The respect these two writers have for each other is so moving. 💕🙌
The Ocean gives, and the Ocean takes. This one only gives!!

That reading was so powerful
Dear Ocean Vuong, I am also an English Vietnamese poet from Canada. You're a real deal! Just love you and your works!
the host's reaction to his answers is exactly me watching this interview!!!!!!!!!!
What a beautiful talk. I love listening to the sound of his voice. ❤
I've been crying the whole day then I came across this video. Now, my heart is full. Thank you, Ocean.
FANTASTIC....HE IS GIFTED
12 min in and I already started weeping...Definitely have to get the audio book on top of the physical book now.
You share the same surname?
@@dianaswing Yes, we do. No relation though. It's a somewhat rare Chinese-Vietnamese surname.
Wow, my goal is to speak English as eloquently as Ocean. Beautiful!
and oh my god he mentioned beloved. one of my favorite novels talked about by my favorite author?? what more can i ask for
So touched by Ocean’s book! Thanks so much!
What a beautiful reading and talk.
One of the best books I have ever read. It was painfully gorgeous in so many ways.
Thank you, Ocean! You are a gift.
loved this talk
wow this is great
Brilliance!
As a member of the LGBTQI community, I felt deeply connected to the world of the novel.
