This week I’m chatting with my friend Christian about On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong. 

Page Love is a weekly podcast conversation about books enjoyed between friends. Ocean is a poet and an author. He was born in Saigon, Vietnam, and he currently lives in Northampton, Massachusetts, where he works as an Assistant Professor in the MFA Program for Poets and Writers at UMass-Amherst.
