He might be my new favorite author. Listening to him speak is just as enriching as reading his work. What a great mind.

So do I. Sometimes it sounds like he almost cries but actually not. His voice holds lots of emotions I feel.

Toby and Marcel did a wonderful job. This was an excellent presentation. In Ocean Vuong humanity is awakening to a higher consciousness. He makes love to his listeners/readers with the poetry of his body, mind, and soul. He is a treasure.

13:27 ‘Refugee[s] who must leave their homes in order to enter a new country, ... must decide one of the most ... vital decisions [that] our entire species ha[s] always demanded of its refugees - which story will you bring with you and which stories will you leave behind - because the body is a limited library [and] the memory can only hold so much.’

"Like a beginner!" Live with the wonder! Live with an awe!" What a humble and emphatic young person. Touching how he reflects on family and immigrant life. Strongest moment for me during this conversation: How he points out that the three act story telling is a very phallic story telling. All about the climax.

The way the two hosts are mesmerised by Ocean Vuong! They sort of become speechless, embarrassed by their own condescendant questions, and lost of the ability to find an inadequate response to his immensely profound thoughts.

Vietnamese language word “ma” has 5 accents that all Vietnamese children have to carefully reading and listening. “ma” (ghost) - “má” (mom) - “mà” [a conjunction between two sentences (that)] - “mả” (tomb) - “mã” (horse) - mạ (rice seeds).

Wow. That's so interesting. If you look at it the word "ma" is basically a life cycle in Vietnamese Language. From mother one is born, rice is what you would eat ( I mean you grow up and live life) and then you take refuge in death (tomb and ghost).

You are really the ocean , you are the master , and the pupil , listening to you , is fascinating , as listening to different languages at the same time , your voice uniting them all , your ideas , how you describe the ideas the feelings , is like a healing piece of music , like a peaceful river flowing in front of the listener , lightly catching the wisdom from every idea , without judging on both sides , or exhausting our brains . Your voice resembles Michael Jackson voice , so calming . Thanks . I needed listening to Ocean talk , I woke up today angry at people did hurt me in the past , but I have so much to care about , my family , my work , my garden , I talked myself out of my anger , because I needed my energy to go forward not backwards , and care for people and matters that needed me more .

Ocean is amazing. I'd like to point out that we should start naming United States as United States not America. Considering we have North, Central and South America. The Americas. I know its common, but we should think about this and not reinforce it.
