Vuong's book was published in 2016 and is still copyrighted (Copper Canyon Press), so there's no unified place to read these. However, I was able to cobble together links for all of the read poems. For the last two, you can hear Vuong himself read the poems.

"Telemachus": [ Ссылка ]

"Aubade with Burning City": [ Ссылка ]

"A Little Closer to the Edge": [ Ссылка ]

"Headfirst": [ Ссылка ]. Note: the author of this translation says that the opening proverb translates to, "Nothing can compare to rice and fish/ Nothing can compare to a mother and her child.”

"Self-Portrait as Exit Wounds": [ Ссылка ]

"Torso of Air": [ Ссылка ]

"To My Father / To My Future Son": [ Ссылка ]. Includes audio read by the author!

"Someday I'll Love Ocean Vuong": [ Ссылка ]. Includes audio read by the author!
