Bruce Weigl, driven by his personal experiences as a soldier during the war in Vietnam, has spent the past 20 years translating contemporary Vietnamese poetry. These penetrating poems, published in bilingual English and Vietnamese, build new bridges between two cultures bound together by war and destruction. The Secret of Hoa Sen, Que Mai's first full-length U.S. publication, shines with craft, art, and deeply felt humanity. I cross the Lam River to return to my homeland where my mother embraces my grandmother's tomb in the rain, the soil of Nghe An so dry the rice plants cling to rocks. My mother chews dry corn; hungry, she tries to forget.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 228mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 240gAuthor: Nguyen Phan Que MaiTranslator: Bruce WeiglContributor: Bruce Weigl (Translated by)Genre: Poetry & DramaTopic: Military History, HistoryRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
