For poet Tran Nhuan Minh, it is not the conflicts which are the center of poetry, but the way through and the way out of those conflicts... In this sense, Tran Nhuan Minh's poetry is a warning and awakening message... it challenges the boundaries between left and right, right and wrong, orthodox and unorthodox, south and north, past and future... Anyday, there are still unhappy people in this world, who need to share their faith and unhappiness… they will still search to read Tran Nhuan Minh’s poems.
