“I’m Sorry I Thought You Were Your Mother (after Ocean Vuong)” by Melissa Lozada-Oliva

I love poem titles with the parenthetical after following them. These poems are little doorways to other poems and poets. And sometimes those lead to more discovery.

“I’m Sorry I Thought You Were Your Mother” is found in Melissa Lozada-Oliva’s peluda, published by Button Poetry.
