Drowning Dragon Slips by Burning Plains: Poems
By Khai Don
()
About this ebook
In poems that lament and wonder, Khải Đơn reclaims the narrative for her people by unexpected material yielded from social research, CIA documents, and American military evaluations to erode the dominant narrative about the Delta in and after the war. Her poems tell tales of the old bombs turning into mangoes, rice germinating out of bullet holes, and every woman losing her way home.

Khải Đơn is a writer nurtured by the Mekong Delta. She explores the destructive effects of climate change on women's bodies and the fractures that the past leaves in the present existence of human beings.
