An explosive, devastating debut poetry book from the winner of the Dylan Thomas Prize

36 Ways of Writing a Vietnamese Poem is an urgent, unsettling reckoning with identity - and the violence of identity. For Le, a Vietnamese refugee in the West, this means the assumed violence of racism, oppression and historical trauma.

But it also means the violence of that assumption. Of being always assumed to be outside one's home, country, culture or language. And the complex violence - for the diasporic writer who wants to address any of this - of language itself.

Making use of multiple tones, moods, masks and camouflages, Le's poetic debut moves with unpredictable and destabilizing energy between the personal and political. As self-indicting as it is scathing, hilarious as it is desperately moving, this is a singular, breakthrough book.

Nam Le's work encompasses fiction, non-fiction, poetry and screen. His poetry has been published in the Paris Review, Poetry, Granta, the American Po­etry Review, Bomb, Conjunctions, Boston Re­view, The Monthly and other places. He has received major awards in Australia, America and Europe including the PEN/Malamud Award, the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award, the Dylan Thomas Prize, the Australian Prime Minister's Literary Award and the Melbourne Prize for Literature. Until recently, he was the fiction editor of the Harvard Review. His short story collection The Boat has been republished as a modern classic and is widely anthologised, translated and taught. He lives in Melbourne, Australia.
