A Note from Teresa:
Deepest gratitude to editor Nguyễn Thành Phong for publishing the poems and to Poet Nguyen Quang Thieu for the introduction.
Poet Nguyen Quang Thieu was the first Vietnamese poet that I ever read about five years ago when I was studying for my master's degree. Nguyen Quang Thieu's beautiful language and heart-moving imagery of the landscape of my motherland and the story of its people in his poetry book, THE WOMEN CARRY RIVER WATER, translated by Nguyen Quang Thieu and Martha Collins, had a huge impact on me.
I am profoundly honored and grateful that my poems are introduced in my motherland, Vietnam, by the first Vietnamese poet I ever read and whom I greatly admire. My heart is warmed beyond words.
