Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A monumental contribution to international literature.” —BLOOMSBURY REVIEW Vietnam—the very word raises many associations for Westerners. Yet while the country has been ravaged by a modern history of colonialism and war, its ancient culture is rich and multilayered, and within it poetry has long had a special place. In this groundbreaking anthology, coeditors and translators Nguyen Do and Paul Hoover present a revelatory portrait of contemporary Vietnamese poetry. What emerges from this conversation of outsiders and insiders, Vietnamese and American voices, is a worldly sensibility descended from the geographical and historical crossroads of Vietnam in the modern era. Reflecting influences as diverse as traditional folk stories and American Modernism, the twenty-one poets included in Black Dog, Black Night, many of whom have never before been published in English, introduce readers to a fresh, uncensored, and utterly unique poetic vision.

Yusef Komunyakaa is renowned for his ability to blend memory and history with strikingly evocative poetic imagery.

In Dien Cai Dau, he applies this unique sensibility to his experience of the Vietnam War. The resulting poems have been called some of the finest Vietnam testimony ever documented in verse or prose. “So finely tuned are Komunyakaa’s images, so faultless his vision, that the reader sees precisely what the poet recalls . . . A powerful must-read for those who have forgotten those days.” ―Booklist

Book Synopsis Beyond the Court Gate by : Trãi Nguyễn
Download or read book Beyond the Court Gate written by Trãi Nguyễn and published by Counterpath Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Southeast Asia Studies. Translated from the Vietnamese by Nguyen Do and Paul Hoover. While Li Po and other classic Chinese poets mostly found expression through through landscape, Vietnamese poet Nguyen Trai (1380-1422) wrote about his own life. The literary symbols of T'ang Dynasty poetry are relatively general, traditional, and polite, but Nguyen Trai developed a colloquial and personal style. As a result, his poems have the intimacy and immediacy of the everyday. Over six hundred years old, they appear, in this translation by contemporary Vietnamese poet Nguyen Do and American poet Paul Hoover, to have been written only yesterday, by someone whose feelings we are able to share, despite their distance from us in time and culture. This is the first collection of Nguyen Trai's poetry to be published in English.

Book Synopsis Neon Vernacular by : Yusef Komunyakaa
Download or read book Neon Vernacular written by Yusef Komunyakaa and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 1993-04-30 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Pulitzer Prize–winning collection pairs twelve new poems with work from seven previous volumes by “one of the most extraordinary poets writing today” (Kenyon Review). The poetry of Yusef Komunyakaa traverses psychological and physical landscapes, mining personal memory to understand the historical and social contexts that shape experience. Neon Vernacular charts the development of his characteristic themes and concerns by gathering work from seven of his previous collections, along with a dozen new poems that continue the autobiographical trajectory of his previous collection, Magic City. Here, Komunyakaa shares an intimate and evocative life journey, from his childhood in Bogalusa, Louisiana—once a center of Klan activity and later a focus of Civil Rights efforts—to his stormy relationship with his father, his high school football days, and his experience of the Vietnam War and his difficult return home. Many of the poems collected here are drawn from limited editions and are no longer available.
Download or read book Spring Essence written by Xuân Hương Hò̂ and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featured on NPR's "Fresh Air" "Sometimes books really do change the world... This one will set in motion a project that may transform Vietnamese culture."--Utne Reader Ho Xuan Huong--whose name translates as "Spring Essence"--is one of the most important and popular poets in Vietnam. A concubine, she became renowned for her poetic skills, writing subtly risque poems which used double entendre and sexual innuendo as a vehicle for social, religious, and political commentary. The publication of Spring Essence is a major historical and cultural event. It features a "tri-graphic" presentation of English translations alongside both the modern Vietnamese alphabet and the nearly extinct calligraphic Nom writing system, the hand-drawn calligraphy in which Ho Xuan Huong originally wrote her poems. It represents the first time that this calligraphy--the carrier of Vietnamese culture for over a thousand years--will be printed using moveable type. From the technology demonstrated in this book scholars worldwide can begin to recover an important part of Vietnam's literary history. Meanwhile, readers of all interests will be fascinated by the poetry of Ho Xuan Huong, and the scholarship of John Balaban. "It's not every day that a poet gets to save a language, although some might argue that is precisely the point of poetry."-- Publishers Weekly "Move over, Sappho and Emily Dickinson."-- Providence Sunday Journal "In the simple landscape of daily objects-jackfruit, river snails, a loom, a chess set, and perhaps most famously a paper fan--Ho found metaphors for sex, which turned into trenchant indictments of the plight of women and the arrogance, hypocrisy and corruption of men... Balaban's deft translations are a beautiful and significant contribution to the West's growing awareness of Vietnam's splendid literary heritage."--The New York Times Book Review The translator, John Balaban, was twice a National Book Award finalist for his own poetry and is one of the preeminent American authorities on Vietnamese literature. During the war Balaban served as a conscientious objector, working to bring war-injured children better medical care. He later returned to Vietnam to record folk poetry. Like Alan Lomax's pioneering work in American music, Balaban was to first to record Vietnam's oral tradition. This important work led him to the poetry of Ho Xuan Huong. Ngo Than Nhan, a computational linguist from NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematics, has digitized the ancient Nom calligraphy.

This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Descendants of Vietnam veterans and refugees confront the aftermath of war and, in verse and prose, deliver another kind of war story. Fifty years after the Vietnam War, this anthology by descendants of Vietnam veterans and refugees—American, Vietnamese, Vietnamese Diaspora, Hmong, Australian, and others—confronts war and its aftermath. What emerges is an affecting portrait of the effects of war and family—an intercultural, generational dialogue on silence, memory, landscape, imagination, Agent Orange, displacement, postwar trauma, and the severe realities that are carried home. Including such acclaimed voices as Viet Thanh Nguyen, Karen Russell, Terrance Hayes, Suzan-Lori Parks, Nick Flynn, and Ocean Vuong, Inheriting the War enriches the discourse of the Vietnam War and provides a collective conversation that attempts to transcend the recursion of history. “Each unique work in Inheriting the War embraces a collective that aims to engage through some daring and passionate truths calibrated by bravery.” —Yusef Komunyakaa, from the foreword
Book Synopsis Best Vietnamese Names for Boys and Girls by : Hseham Amrahs
Download or read book Best Vietnamese Names for Boys and Girls written by Hseham Amrahs and published by Mahesh Dutt Sharma. This book was released on 2024-01-08 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the quest for the perfect name is deeply personal, it is not without its challenges. We understand the weight of this decision and have crafted this book with a few guiding principles in mind. Firstly, we encourage you to embrace the significance of cultural and familial connections. Many names carry stories of ancestry, traditions, and legacies that can enrich your child's sense of identity. Secondly, consider the resonance of the name with your values and aspirations. A name can shape perceptions and influence the way your child perceives. Whether you aspire for a name that exudes strength, kindness, or creativity, let the essence of the name align with your hopes and dreams for your little one. Lastly, while trends come and go, the timeless nature of a name is an essential consideration. Striking a balance between uniqueness and enduring appeal ensures that your child's name stands the test of time, reflecting both contemporary sensibilities and the enduring beauty of tradition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Mr. Siluk's 27th book, his third book of poetry, since l981. Siluk's poetry has been seen in magazines (most recently: The Mango Tree (out of India)), anthologies, newspapers, books, interwoven into stories, and in the internet magazines such as www.useless-knowledge.com and www.eldritchdark.com. Siluk has the three main ingredients for being a writer: the love for words, perseverance, and has a lot to say. In The Macabre Poems, the categories of his poems range from: Macabre, Prose, Legends (emphasis on Atlantis and Gilgamesh), and Selected Poems, along with War poems and a Miscellaneous section. There is an assortment of poetic style of poetry in The Macabre Poems, to include: prose, lyrical, expressive, odes, epics and tales; along with sonnets, haiku, etcetera. Indeed Siluk is worth his salt. In The Macabre Poems, Siluk is more than daring in his poetic verse; dangerous as it may be to read, it was twice as hard to write, but Mr. Siluk put it in a nutshell: "If you want to know who you're dealing with, you got to take a muster-seed of faith with you to the pits of hell; playing it safe will not get you home." Rosa Peñaloza Translator
