{"product_id":"watermark-barbara-tran-9781682831724","title":"Watermark: Vietnamese American Poetry and Prose, 25th Anniversary Edition","description":"Celebrating the 25th anniversary of its publication, the Diasporic Vietnamese Artists Network and Texas Tech University Press are proud to release a newly updated version of \u003ci\u003eWatermark: Vietnamese American Poetry \u0026amp; Prose\u003c\/i\u003e, the seminal anthology of Vietnamese American literature. Contextualized by a new foreword from Isabelle Thuy Pelaud and seasoned with new voices, \u003ci\u003eWatermark: Vietnamese American Poetry \u0026amp; Prose, 25th Anniversary Edition\u003c\/i\u003e takes its place as a generational work of eclectic and essential voices.Edited by Barbara Tran, Monique Truong, and Khoi Luu, this updated edition of \u003ci\u003eWatermark\u003c\/i\u003e continues to center Vietnamese American literature, whose emergence it celebrated upon its initial publication in 1998. Again, some of the most innovative contemporary Vietnamese American writers, such as Truong Tran, lê thị diễm thúy, and Dao Strom, explore thematic and stylistic territory previously overlooked in other collections, which have traditionally focused on war. New voices such as Nam Le, Anvi Hoàng, and Vinh Nguyen are included in this new edition, raising the number of pieces from forty to fifty-four.\u003ci\u003eWatermark\u003c\/i\u003e lifts all constraints, leaving the works to reset the boundaries for themselves. And they do--using poetry, fiction, and experimental forms to venture further into the intricacies of the Vietnamese American psyche. A work equal measures foundational and pathbreaking, now available again for a new generation of readers--an essential collection not to be missed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Tran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1682831728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781682831724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas Tech University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.66h x 5.67w x 0.47d","brand":"Barbara Tran","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079249981695,"sku":"9781682831724","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46b06071-0758-4487-9d63-10f30e995350.jpg?v=1685480049","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/watermark-barbara-tran-9781682831724","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
