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 writing is becoming more and more popular among serious readers 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 Yen Bai Province ( North Vietnam ) , and spent his childhood in the northermost part of Vietnam. The poems reprinted here as taken from a mimeographed collection of the Vietnamese poet, The Phong : entitled Vietnam the sky under fire and flames, published in Saigon, may 1967. The collection was obtained from TENGGARA by the young writer, Bur Rasuanto, who was on a visit there recently.
Đam Xuan Can , in presenting his English translation of The Phong's poems in Vietnam, the sky und fire and 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 Đam Xuan Can does not himself justices."
( TENGGARA , Volume II, no I , 1968).
