Letters That Endure

Thoughts on education, poetry, and the living history of home.

Public Education

A traditional Asian architectural structure is surrounded by lush greenery and colorful flowers. A prominent red flag with a yellow star flutters on a tall pole, indicative of Vietnam. Various smaller flags line the perimeter of the structure. A large stone inscribed with Vietnamese script is situated in the foreground.

Poems And Memory

Thoughtful writing on public education in Vietnam, connecting classroom realities with the hopes, challenges, and possibilities shaping the country’s future.

A traditional Vietnamese building illuminated at night with an intricate roof and multiple windows, adorned with red and gold lights. A large patterned circle with text in Vietnamese is displayed in the background, and several red and yellow flags are situated in front of the building.

Hometown Writings

Poems shaped by memory, quiet observation, and the emotional landscapes found in ordinary Vietnamese lives and familiar hometown streets.

A yellow wall features vibrant street art depicting traditional Vietnamese street vendors. One vendor wears a conical hat and carries produce on a shoulder pole, while another sells watermelons from a cart. There is green foliage in flowerpots placed on the ground. Two people on a motorbike are passing by in the foreground. Above the artwork, a blue and white building is partially visible with barred windows.
