THE TRANSLATOR | Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

THE TRANSLATOR

a ghost
accidently possessing
the author
sometimes invited
out from the sea
from the sky
the attraction
allure, magnetism
sometimes the ghost does not want to
but loves to wander and play
like dracular
flying nowhere in particular
out in the world
as a ghost
it’s fun
hence, it’s not done.


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.
