Poets in the exchange. |
According to poet Le Minh Quoc, a poet is someone whose mission is to seek and exploit the dreams that have come to him in his own life.
That dream is the mood, the state of mind, the spirit that is wandering, drifting somewhere in the horizon of the time he is living. Then he expresses it through words arranged spontaneously and consciously. In this lonely journey, no one succeeds and no one fails…”. As for poet Ho Thi Ca, “Each poet is a self-moving universe with his spiritual children”.
The collection "Love Poetry of a Time" was released in the digital age 4.0, as a "test" to see how many people in today's era still love and remember the verses of poetry, still live in a naive, carefree and slow mindset?
But one thing is certain, when reading the poems in the collection, readers will more or less find kindred spirits and will love this life more.
