Ms. Anhthao Bui's poem "Yellow Flower" was first quoted from Emily Dickinson: "If I feel that the top of the body is taken down, I know this is poetry." This other sense of secularity describes the critics. The reaction when reading the Bui collection. On page 88, divided into ten concise chapters, Bui reveals many seemingly contradictory aspects of herself and her life. Her poetry is very personal, but the subject she is involved in is universal.
The back cover of the book details the events in her life. She came to the United States from Saigon, Vietnam in 1996. The poem "Four Worlds" describes the struggles that any immigrant can refer to.
The beauty of Bui's poetry lies in this dichotomy between individual and universal. Each chapter deals with certain aspects of her life, from the heartache of love to the victory of learning and a new beginning. Her love for the United States is reflected in poetry such as "United States." Looking at our country through the eyes of a talented immigrant like Bui is a moving experience. Many of the experiences she described in Huanghua have experienced millions of people, but we as readers can be associated with her poetry on an individual basis.
Is Bui the "yellow flower" in her book? This is an appropriate metaphor. These poems reveal a beautiful and sensitive woman with flexibility and dignity. Like the flowers on the cover of her book, Anhthao Bui is a survivor. Yellow flower is a poetic portrait of a woman's life.
Ms. Yu's poems are just as beautiful as poets. Her books are available online at http://www.AuthorHouse.com and http://www.Amazon.com.
