Đặng Th n appears right here and now and raises an extraordinary voice. An artist of unique originality. In terms of poetry, Đặng Th n is a connoisseur of subtle sense of sounds.

--Đặng Anh Đ o, Vietnamese Professor of Literature

Đặng Th n's poetry slips on the tongue provocatively. The coming together of the rhythms and shapes of his words are sublime for the foreign ear. A truly transcultural moment.

-- Julie-Anne Boudreau, Canadian expert in transculture

Đặng Th n is successful in using connotation and black humour language to deal with real problems. He's created his own poetic style named "phạc-nhi n", and captured the musicality in a natural language that proves himself to be an unsurpassable talent.
