Neon vernacular from

 . In the spring of 2009, I read his four books as class assignments, and I was amazed at the brilliance he encountered in his poetry. He served as a military communications during the Vietnam conflict and happened to be in the fire of his story.

Read Dien Cai Dau to bring the battlefield of the jungle to the forefront. It is real, dynamic and vivid. After serving in the Airborne Infantry Army, I was able to find principles, concepts and ideas in this amazing and realistic book.

First poem from

Camouflage chimera from

 It's chilling. For example, read these words: "The river passes through our bones. The little animals are hiding from our bodies. We hold our breath and prepare to eject an L-shaped ambush." ​​This ambush is the most deadly thing that any enemy finds trapped and cannot escape. One of the weapons.

Go to another eye-catching poem, from

tunnel from

 This is even more amazing. These are his words, "First climbed into the hole, he kicked and disappeared." This is the tunnel mouse found underground enemies in the swamp, musk, dirt and dirt.

"Broken" is a situation in which a soldier should never find him or herself. This means that the dead are "broken" and when a senior ranking person squats on the battlefield against others in his unit, hatred and conflict arise. Listen to these chilling words: "Slide your finger into the metal ring, he marries the devil - the spoon-shaped handle flies away. Everything breaks the green cover, like a hundred red ones released from a wooden box. Bird."

It is really a terrible view to see a person burn, especially when one cannot do anything to save this person. These words lead to such a reality in the poem from

You and me are disappearing from

 "We stood there, hands hanging around me. She burned like a bag of dry ice. She burned like water. She burned like a glass of vodka. She was blown like a burning bush. Come. "

These guys in the next poem are very deadly. They will climb out and attack in the middle of the night. Listen to these words in this poem from

Engineer from

 "They fell like a torchbearer. Their naked bodies are so serious, the moonlight dances from their skin." The image of this work is vivid and profound. One can see them clearly.

I don't have to write anything about these poems. Obviously, the poems in this book are just amazing and dramatic. Someone has read this book to appreciate the show.
