A moving and beautifully arranged collection of poetry and art from Vietnam. "These are the poems of the young of Viet nam. They express the hopes and sorrows of a youth which has known only war. There is little joy. Joy does not come often to a land where brother is sent to kill brother. But there is love which shines through in rare moments. Tragically, the love is often for a friend lost in the war. [...]There are the poems that have sent the young to jail -- and the poems that were written in jail. [...] Others were printed in underground newspapers and meeting places of the youth." --Introduction.
