Special Remarks:
1.- The Phong has been widely known in English speaking countries.
He has been invited to The International Writing Program by The Iowa School of Letters, but has been unable to attend of obscure reason. Repeated efforts of Professor Paul Engle, himself an eminent and writer, the Chairman of the Program, has been all in vain.
It is a shame a writer who has a lot to contribute to international forum has been so discouraged. Anyway his wrting is becoming more and more popular among seriousreaders of Vietnamese literature.
Sure he is not the most prolific writer, but he has written nothing which could be rated as a little significance.
2.- " ...The Phong was born in 1932
at Yên Bái Province. ( North Vietnam ) ,
and spent his childhood in the northernmost part of Vietnam.
The poems reprinted here ar taken from a mimeographed collection of the Vietnamese poet The Phong :
Vietnam The Sky Under Fire & fFames,
published in Saigon, May 1967.
The collection was obtained from TENGGARA
by the young writer, Bur Rasuanto, who was on a visit there recently.

Đàm Xuân Cận , in presenting his English translation of
The Phong's poems in Vietnam, The Sky & Fire & Flames wrote:
" The Phong 's poems are particularly difficult to translate and I have no illusion whatever about my command of English. I trust that one day a poet of talent will revise this version and
do more justice to the origin."
Readers are bound to feel that Đàm Xuân Cận does not himself justices."
( TENGGARA , Volume II, No I , 1968).
