Riassunto

This unique collection offers over one hundred poems from over one hundred poets in the only bilingual anthology of Vietnamese women’s poetry available anywhere. As diverse as Vietnam itself, these collected works range from the earliest oral poetry and the first written Buddhist spirituals to the angry poems of rebellious youth in Vietnam today. Whether it is the historical expulsion of the Chinese or the cultivation of silk worms, this volume speaks to the exceptional moments and everyday realities of women in love and war, in the fields and cities, in their homeland and far abroad.
