This powerful and moving bilingual collection affirms the
importance of poetry in the formation and perpetuation of
Vietnamese national Identity. These poems testify to the centrality
of war in Vietnamese history and experience over the past fifty
years. Beginning thw Ho Chi Minh in the 1940s and moving forward in
time to Nguyen Quang Thieu in the 1990s, the book presents
significant poetry reflecting the thoughts and feeling of the major
Vietnamese writers who lived through many years of war, first with
the French and later with the Americans. Mountain River will serve
as a valuable introductory survey of Vietnamese poetry written
since World War II and as an example of the integral role of poets
and poetry in Vietnamese culture.
