CAESURA
with OCEAN VUONG

LITERATURE

»Death and life happening
side by side«

Ocean Vuong is a poet and novelist whose work moves through memory, migration, and the body. In conversation with FOLIE, he spoke to scent as a marker of decay and rebirth occurring side-by-side—especially at home in New England, where spring screams into being while tobacco dies and cures. His olfactive memories are inseparable from labor and ritual: scrubbing incense smoke stains from ceilings when moving apartments, heating Burger King patties in their wrappers on a car hood in summer, putting on drugstore perfume before lining up at the welfare office, making a fire to welcome someone home. The fragrance translates this confluence—nothing competes, everything elevates.
