Journalist and poet Nguyen Tien Thanh introduces to the public the poetry collection "Vien Ca"

The poetry collection launch program was organized by the Literature and Arts Department (VOV6 - Voice of Vietnam) in coordination with the Literature Publishing House.

Poet Nguyen Tien Thanh’s poetry collection “Vien Ca” consists of 39 poems written by him in his recent period. Although the mischievous, overwhelming, and liberal qualities have diminished, in return, his new poetry collection adds richness in the depth of his thoughts, the uniqueness of his language, and the system of poetic images.

Through association and imagination, the poet has connected everyday things, events, and moods of a personalized nature with everything belonging to the distant, magical realm to create strange poetic images.

Poet Nguyen Tien Thanh does not advocate poetic innovation, his poetry even leans more towards the classical side. However, reading Nguyen Tien Thanh’s poetry, one can always feel the freshness, the freshness in the poetry of a poet who is constantly digging deeper to find himself. And constantly thinking about distant horizons.

He started his poetry career from the student poetry movement at Hanoi universities in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the years when the grayness of life immediately disappeared, leaving only the sublimity of poetry and the ecstatic emotions that exploded every time the dormitory poetry nights began.

Journalist and poet Nguyen Tien Thanh shares about his third collection of poems titled "Vien Ca".

Many of Nguyen Tien Thanh’s poems written during this period are still known by heart. And their spirit – passionately romantic and wildly unconventional – over the span of several decades, seems to still radiate a retrospective glow to this day.

At the launching ceremony, researchers, writers, and journalists all emphasized that “Viên ca” is a turning point in Nguyễn Tiến Thanh’s poetic creation. There is still a hint of elegance in the structure, language, and tone; so that old topics are still interesting to read. But the sobriety, rationality, and self-awareness have increased.

Poet Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers Association, said: In an era when literature in general and poetry in particular do not hold the central position in cultural life as before, people who love poetry, know how to write poetry, and never give up poetry like Nguyen Tien Thanh are very valuable. The launch of the poetry collection "Vien Ca" today helps connect poetry lovers together, creating a rare, intimate, and very poetic atmosphere.

Journalist Nguyen Xuan Hai - Chairman of Ha Tinh Provincial Journalists Association spoke at the poetry collection launch ceremony.

Also at the poetry collection launch program, journalist Nguyen Xuan Hai - Chairman of the Ha Tinh Provincial Journalists Association shared: From the two published poetry collections, "Loạn Bút Hành"; "Chieu Không Ten Như Bệt Muc Giua Đời" and "Viên Ca", I can use one word, that is, poet Nguyen Tien Thanh is the one who "anchors" beauty, is a poet of affection, sentiment, and emotion.

In the poetry of poet Nguyen Tien Thanh there is loneliness, loneliness is scratches, is sadness,... but in the end there is still beauty, beauty from the structure, poetic ideas, language. There appear beautiful images, reading the poetry I see the direction of Vu Quan Phuong's poetry, Hoang Nhuan Cam's poetry,...

"However, Nguyen Tien Thanh's poetry has a different quality, he said in his own way, of a student of the Faculty of Literature, Hanoi University of Science... in the Faculty of Literature, people often see the excellence of the collective, the solidity of the majority and in that there is also the leadership of the individual... Nguyen Tien Thanh is one of those sublime individuals. Here there is a desire to create, to contribute and a source of love for poetry" , journalist Nguyen Xuan Hai confided.

"Vien Ca" by poet Nguyen Tien Thanh includes 39 poems written by him recently.
