Before we return stateside,

where this blog properly belongs, one last look at Brighton:











Inside-the-Evening-Star--Brighton








In the Evening Star, from left to right: Julie Carr; Lee Harwood; Daniel Kane, author of All Poets Welcome: The Lower East Side Poetry Scene in the 1960s; Sara Crangle, co-editor of On Bathos; Peter Middleton; and Maria Lauret, author of a book on Alice Walker. With no television or music, the Evening Star is a perfect pub to have a conversation, and what most bars should be like.

About Me

I was born in Vietnam in 1963, came to the U.S. in 1975, and have also lived in Italy and England. I'm the author of two collections of stories, Fake House (2000) and Blood and Soap (2004), five books of poems, All Around What Empties Out (2003), American Tatts (2005), Borderless Bodies (2006), Jam Alerts (2007) and Some Kind of Cheese Orgy (2009), and a novel, Love Like Hate (2010). My work has been anthologized in Best American Poetry 2000, 2004, 2007 and Great American Prose Poems from Poe to the Present, among many other places. I'm also the editor of the anthologies Night, Again: Contemporary Fiction from Vietnam (1996) and Three Vietnamese Poets (2001), and translator of Night, Fish and Charlie Parker, the poetry of Phan Nhien Hao (2006). Blood and Soap was chosen by the Village Voice as one of the best books of 2004. My poems, stories and political writing have been translated into Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Icelandic and Finnish, and I've been invited to read my works in London, Cambridge, Brighton, Paris, Berlin, Reykjavik, Toronto and all over the U.S. I've also published widely in Vietnamese.
