I am absolutely in love with all of Nick Flynn's memoirs (Another Bullshit Night in Suck City, The Reenactments, The Ticking is the Bomb, This Is the Night Our House Will Catch Fire). He is a poet who has written several memoirs that are very influenced by poetry in a lot of ways. I recently read On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong and he had a very similar poetic prose (which is not surprising as Ocean Vuong is primarily a poet). I'm craving other books similar to these, so if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear it. Thanks in advance!
