Vietnaminkielinen runokokoelma. In this collection of prose-poems, Tan van thi, Nguyen Thi Khanh Minh once again proved that she is one of the leading Vietnamese poets of her generation, male or female. From a dynamic reality, from what she would have called a “multi-colored, multi-faceted painting of life,” she cherished a myriad of emotions then enshrined them into her series of lyrical dreams, and with the magical breath of poetry, those emotions seemed to gain a new life, a super-reality. Her oneiric narrative coupled with a poetically captivating language of extraordinary beauty and innovation, freed from the control of reasons and concern for verisimilitude, enthralling imagination extending beyond its limit, all help to create some of the verses that are aesthetically pleasing both the sense and the mind. More than that, her poetry is also her way of seeking the ultimate truth, the love-centric truth that for so long has escaped our attention and grasp.
