GO ALONE

By Tran Nhuan Minh

For poet Tran Nhuan Minh, it is not the conflicts which are the

center of poetry, but the way through and the way out of those

conflicts... In this sense, Tran Nhuan Minh's poetry is a warning

and awakening messages... it challenges the boundaries between left

and right, right and wrong, orthodox and unorthodox, south
