�From Red River to Blue Danube� is a collection of poems straight from the heart. They cry out in raw emotion and clear images about the pain of separation and the joy of reunion. Human longing is set against geographical distances filled with natural splendors and inspiring cities. Kieu Bich Hau�s poems present individual experiences that transcend their private realms and become universal through their astute depictions of what it means to be alive and human in the world.
