Two Rivers

Two Rivers features new fiction, poetry, and essays from Vietnamese and Vietnamese American writers. One generation after the end of the Vietnamese-American war, the United States is home to nearly 700,000 Vietnamese. Their contribution to America's vitality has never been greater, and their views about the war, their resettlement, and the future never more diverse. A period of reexamination, reflection, and new dialogues has begun on both sides of the Pacific; the writing in this collection highlights some of the strongest and most thoughtful literary voices of this period. Other new work in the volume includes poetry by Korean poet Ko Un, Japanese experimental poet Kazuko Shiraishi, Chinese poet Shi Zhi, and Americans Leonard Nathan, John McKernan, Joe Millar, and Jozuf Hadley; prose by Juan Carlos Onetti, George Evans, and Virgil Suarez; and a portfolio of visual art.
