The Crisis of the Standing Order : Clerical Intellectuals and Cultural Authority in Massachusetts, 1780-1833 Book

While poetry is an important form of art for the Vietnamese, and it is a form of art that many of them - regardless of vocation - often turn to, their styles read easy and more like sentences broken into lines. Perhaps because of the translation, the poems lack style and does not have much rhythm. However, one does learn a lot about the pains of the war through the book. One also finds that many of the poems contain common references, thus learning about culture through the times as the poems are also arranged chronologically.
