Transcription
Writing
Đỗ's poetry is influenced by their Vietnamese American identity and by their deep spiritual faith. When asked about influences on their writing, they have responded with several different sources of inspiration, including the words of ancient Vietnamese female writers and political figures like the Trưng sisters and writers such as Lady Murasaki and Frances Hodgson Burnett.[3][4]
Their debut poetry collection, Ghosts Still Walking, was published by Platypus Press in 2016.[5] Their second poetry collection, Battlefield Blooming, is scheduled to be released in spring of 2019 by Sahtu Press.[6] The release of Ghosts Still Walking was noted by Vietnamese language newspaper Viet Bao for its timely release on the anniversary of the Fall of Saigon.[7]
Political involvement
Aside from being a poet, Đỗ has been an ardent advocate for the arts and for Vietnamese American political and cultural development.[8] They often combine these lines of advocacy not only through community organizing and writing poetry, but also by being vocal on how issues such as immigration policy and police brutality have impacted the Southeast Asian American community.[9][10]
