This bilingual Vietnamese/English edition brings together for the first time the works of six writers, three men and three women, who came to maturity during the American War in Vietnam. What will you find in this book?—the richness and diversity of Vietnamese life and literature from an array of poems that range from free verse to romantic lyric to traditional classic forms. The book features poets from North and South, combat soldiers, and poet-soldiers writing of life in Vietnam through the last four decades of the 20th century.
