In This Issue
 Vietnamese Lexicography
by Dinh-Hoa Nguyen
[ This paper traces the history of lexicography in Vietnam and points out its successive tendencies both in monolingual and bilingual or multilingual modes through the traditional period, the colonial period, the independence period the partition period and the post-1975 period... ]

 The Zhuang In The Sino-Vietnamese Frontier during the Qing-Era
by Jeffrey Barlow
[ The extreme violence of the Taiping years was to prove but prologue to the remainder of the 19th century in Guangxi. While the Taiping were destroyed in the north and local rebels pacified in the south, the government failed to truly stabilize the region. The violence simmered at a level comparable to that prior to the 1840s. The regional political and economic context grew even more complicated with the constantly increasing French presence in Vietnam... ]

 Tension Between the Generations: Understanding and Redressing Issues that Confront Vietnamese Families in Australia
by Diane Barnes
 Women in Vietnamese Folklore
by Nha-Trang Cong-Huyen Ton-Nu
[ When I was little, I had the good fortune of hearing folklore everyday from one or the other of my two grandmothers who never tired of telling stories and quoting proverbs and popular sayings to give us examples of good behavior. Since it was mostly their granddaughters who hung around the house, the items of folkore they chose to relate in the main had to do with women. I remember myself being secretly puzzled at what appeared to be contradictory messages conveyed by different items, and also at what was presented in stories and folk wisdom as compared to what I observed in actual daily life... ]

 From Love to Lust: How long does it take?
by Frank Trinh
[ In this small talk, I would like to take readers to a place where you embark on a journey starting with love and arriving at lust. This I will do via means of a few humble lines of poetry to entertain you, and to while the time away... ]

 Racism and Girls - the Silent Sufferers
by Viet Duong & Xuan Duong
 In The Age of Globalization, Even the Dead Travel
by Andrew Lam
[ Til death do us part, that age-old marriage vow, has always sounded a little, well, non-committal to Confucian ears. In Vietnam, for instance, where I come from, death is not the end of relationships, it only deepens them... ]

 The Market Girl
by Thach Lam
Edited and with Translations by James Banerian
[ Once Mademoiselle Tam spied the big banyan tree and the brick shop through the fog, her weariness left her. At the same time, the row of bamboo at the head of the village seemed to come close, the boughs bending in the wind, and Tam could hear the leaves rustle and the main stems creak. She was near home and the load on her shoulders became lighter, the bending of the pole now falling in time with her quickened pace. She felt assured and warm inside, forgetting the worry still lingering in her mind as she passed the wide fields of sparse stubble where the north wind wafted by in gusts... ]

 Crossing the South China Sea
by John Vu
[ In 1979 my parents, my younger brother and I fled Viet Nam by boat across the South China Sea. I was 7 years old, my brother 5. This is a story that is not unique to me alone. Countless other refugees have gone through similar circumstances. To them I dedicate this story... ]

 Xuan Duong: Hey, I’ve got a racist flu!
by Kerry Leves
[ A breath of fresh air, that could blow away dust-defined cobwebs of cant. A poem Monoculture? Which one? refers us to the modern and huge beings gathering up on the super-cyber...highway coolly tossing the billions and occasionally... throwing down a few dollars to the bony hands of the... battlers’ mass... ]

 Xuan Duong: Refugee refugees see the East Timorese?
by Kerry Leves
[ Stunning. It might be the day-to-day diary of the refugee, if the language hadn’t been worked into an agent of corrosive brilliance. Practitioners of ‘language’ poetry could do worse than peruse it – this is syntax as lightheaded hunger, lexis as stupefaction of beatings and other terrors... ]

 
Hoa Nguyen
Interview
by Carol Mirakove
 
Double roses with their hearts falling out
[ Double roses with their hearts falling out... a string connects me... I lean and follow you... ]

 
Can you be happy

MAGIC 95.5
[ Christmas songs since Thanksgiving... my pessimism... rings like spastic bells... merry merry merry Christmas... Precious metals ding & dong!... ]

 
Loud dance leaps on the mountain
[ Loud dance leaps on the mountain... Continue and we pedal chant mull the moment...I fail... I fail far from icebox leftovers... ]

 
Smell the Purple Incense that May or May Not Smell Better than the Rat You Name "Composition"
[ Winter fails You drive... a motorcycle around it!... The difference in today is.... a Valentine zit... ]
