Nam Le: 36 Ways of Writing a Vietnamese Poem

Nam Le — 36 Ways of Writing a Vietnamese Poem - with Natasha Sajé

In this Politics and Prose event, Dylan Thomas Prize–winning author Nam Le reads from his debut poetry collection, 36 Ways of Writing a Vietnamese Poem (Knopf, 2024), and discusses the choice to write poetry rather than prose, and the sometimes questionable authority of writing about trauma in a conversation with Natasha Sajé.
