Nguyen Phan Que Mai
Nguyen Phan Que Mai
Que Mai is among the most exciting writers to emerge in post-war Viet Nam. These insightful poems, published in both English and Vietnamese, build new bridges between two cultures bound together by war and destruction. The Secret of Hoa Sen, Que Mai's first full-length US publication, shines with craft, art and deeply felt humanity.
According to Teresa Mei Chuc, author of Red Thread: Poems, "Nguyen Phan Que Mai's The Secret of Hoa Sen, takes us along the streets of Viet Nam where we meet women bearing 'stars in the shape of carrying poles' and women who are the collectors of garbage who 'mend their lives whole from debris.'
Que Mai is the first Vietnamese author whose complete book has been published by BOA Editions. She is also the first South-East Asian poet to be published under the prestigious Lannan Translations Selection Series. Established in 2002, the Lannan Translations Selection Series publishes two best books of contemporary international poetry in translation each year.
