Hoang Hung, Vietnamese poet, was imprisoned for 39 months for his poetry. We've translated his poems and want to publish them in the US
Hoang Hung's moving poetry about his time in prison and some of his newly translated poems can be made available in the US by supporting the production of his chapbook (all donations are tax-deductible). We are releasing the chapbook during the Echoes of Vietnam event in Santa Cruz on March 21, 2012. Check out our various rewards, including a private dinner with Hoang Hung and award-winning memoirist Andrew Pham at the home of poet Ellen Bass.
