Comments on Thanh Hải


The literature researcher Trần Hữu Tá wrote:

Cuộc đấu tranh bền bỉ, anh dũng của nhân dân miền Nam, của nhân dân Thừa Thiên, là nguồn cảm hứng chủ yếu của thơ Thanh Hải. Sau năm 1975, thơ ông càng chín hơn. Bài "Mùa xuân nho nhỏ" (1980, làm trên giường bệnh trước khi mất không lâu) là thành công tiêu biểu hơn cả. Nói chung, thơ ông chân chất, bình dị, đôn hậu và chân thành. Tuy nhiên, ông ít đổi mới trong phong cách, nhiều khi có hiện tượng tự lập lại mình. Đối với nền thơ chống Mỹ của miền Nam, Thanh Hải là một trong những cây bút có nhiều đóng góp...[2]

Trần Hữu Tá

Translation:

The enduring and heroic struggle of the people of the South, of the people of Thừa Thiên, is the source of inspiration of Thanh Hải. After 1975, his poems became more matured. The poem "Mùa xuân nho nhỏ" (1980, made on his sickbed shortly before his death) is his most notable success.
In general, his poems are heartfelt, unstudied, honest and sincere. However, he rarely innovated his style, sometimes he repeated his past self. Toward the anti-US poetry of South Vietnam, Thanh Hải is one of the writer who have many contributions...

Notes


  1. Spencer Tucker Encyclopedia of the Vietnam War 1998 "Even more than in prose fiction, Vietnamese voices attack American action during the war, and one of these, Thanh Hải's Faithful Comrades (1962), is among the earliest voicing resistance to the American-backed South Vietnamese"
