AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A visual artist who lives poetry in Saigon, an illusionist who works theatres and boardrooms across the US, a journalist-translator who mediates new media, in this collection these three prominent voices in contemporary Vietnamese poetry bring to world literature the diversity and richness of poetic expressions in a fast-changing world. Nguyen Thuy Hang's poems enter the realm of stasis, rearrange and reconstruct dream sequences to bring out a language that moves and dances, rejects and embraces, taking the audience with her movements in a tour de force. With puns and wit, Do Le Anhdao's satirical poems speak strongly for many of her generation on transitory-ness, race and gender politics, confusion and dislocation. Satire at its most effective and timely, her poems are anarchistic, mischievous: a show of strength that takes masquerades and irony by the scruff. Le Dinh Nhat-Lang's poems are meditations on a kaleidoscope of the past and now; they are packed with indelible images and drawn with a delicate touch. This twelth volume in the Asia Pacific Poetry Series from Vagabond Press gives readers three of the most formidable voices from the current generation of Vietnamese poets.' (Publication Summary)
