Chuyện bạn Lê Anh Tú dễ giải thích mà. Bạn ấy hiểu một điều vô cùng đơn giản là tiền không mua nổi tinh thần.

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

The compulsion of the artist is to draw and paint
create
feed their soul

write
compose music
sketch
for oneself
one’s soul
to be whole
again

the way
walking
unburdens the mind
frees you from your responsibilities

Art and literature feeds me
it feeds my soul
and who knows

I might become an even better person
more worthy of your devotion
your love.


Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm, the blogger, poet, and translator, was born in 1971 in Phu Nhuan, Saigon, Vietnam. The pharmacist currently lives and works in Western Sydney, Australia.

There's magic in translating a body of work from one language to another.
