Inspired by the nineteenth-century image of an enslaved woman wearing iron horns and bells, these poems explore the intersections between individual experience and collective memory.

She is an assistant professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Ocean Vuong is an award-winning poet and the author of On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, a work hailed as an 鈥渆xpansive and introspective, fragmented and dreamlike鈥�coming of age tale鈥� by the Los Angeles Times. Adored by the literary community and college campuses alike, Vuong鈥檚 talks are thoughtful and engaging discussions on his equally brilliant works.
