The poems selected to be included in this thick book are only a part of Nguyen Vinh Tien's lush poetry garden, so it is difficult to speak thoroughly about his poetry.
Author Nguyen Vinh Tien is very successful as an architect, he also made a name for himself in the music industry with the song "My Grandmother" which was a hit years ago.

His person as a poet is less well known, but his poetry is very special and diverse, a modern, experienced poetic voice, going beyond the boundaries of genre and rhyme to explore the possibilities of language.
Chaos and the Garden, just published this Summer, is 268 pages thick, divided into 5 chapters: Strange Flowers - Chaos and the Garden - Urban Depression - The Poet - Nameless Flowers , providing an image of the author's life journey and poetry journey.
The beginning is the passionate excitement of discovering the possibilities of words, the adulthood is the image of a person sadly pondering the question "what am I?" and the end is the heart finding a peaceful place.
If we read the book of poems from beginning to end, we will see a unique, fluent poetic voice, the poetic ideas flowing out as if nothing, defying the boundaries of genre, rhyme, of old and new, of tradition and experimentation.
Nguyen Vinh Tien travels through spaces from rural to urban, from mystical spiritual realms to exposed reality, from past sediments to present boredom.
That is why when reading his poems, readers often encounter surprises, from the horizontal six-eight verses in a prose poem, or the unique concluding sentences of a poem, or the interesting associations of a rich soul.
Nguyen Vinh Tien is like a poet walking on a unique poetic path, sometimes stopping, stopping, or rushing forward, making his journey in the garden of poetry full of wonder.
There are two personalities that appear in Nguyen Vinh Tien's poems, the man of the countryside and the man of wandering. At the end, the book of poems closes with pure rhymes and philosophies about the meaning of life of an experienced person.
