The 8 Best Books by Author Nguyễn Phong Việt

There are moments in life when we all need some quiet reflection, a chance to pause and assess the journey we're on, and to ask ourselves whether that path leads us to the ends of the earth, to the farthest reaches of our dreams.

Nguyễn Phong Việt's poetry is not just beautiful in its words, but it carries deep reflections on life and the struggles that everyone has at some point faced. It creates a sense of empathy, offering comfort in a world full of loneliness, where we often don't know where to turn to share our emotions.

In his latest collection, 'We Will Go to the Ends of the Earth,' each reader will find peace and a moment of introspection through his simple yet profound verses. Life is a journey, and along the way, we encounter stopping points, moments when people cross our paths. Some stop to rest, while others pass by, leaving us in confusion and sorrow. We are all pilgrims in each other's lives, unsure of our destination but constantly moving forward. This journey holds moments of solitude, separation, and painful defeat, all of which require us to find a quiet place to regain strength and continue onward.

'At times, we will stand like flowers in full bloom, embracing peace…'

This winter, join Nguyễn Phong Việt in 'We Will Go to the Ends of the Earth,' to cleanse the soul after hardship and to understand life’s true meaning through its simplest moments. Or perhaps to realize that, despite life's storms, we find strength and optimism as we walk through the challenges ahead.

'Sometimes, allow yourself to smile when you see a wound healing!'

Chúng Ta Sống Có Vui Không? Những người trẻ đang bận vật lộn giữa cuộc sống mưu sinh? Những người trẻ phải từ bỏ đam mê, oằn mình thực hiện ước mơ còn dang dở của bố mẹ? Ắt hẳn, mỗi người trẻ trong cuộc sống của mình đều từng có những lúc băn khoăn hoang mang giữa những lựa chọn, sống vô định giữa những mục tiêu. Nhưng có khi nào bạn dừng lại, suy ngẫm và đặt câu hỏi rằng: "Nếu chúng ta làm việc không vui, yêu một ai đó không vui, đi đâu đó không vui… Vậy chúng ta sống để làm gì?" Chúng ta sống có vui không? Dù bạn đã hoặc chưa từng tự hỏi mình sẽ là cuốn sách giúp bạn tìm ra câu trả lời vì sao đã cố gắng vẫn chẳng thể hài lòng với chính cuộc sống này, mỗi câu chuyện chia sẻ lại là một lý do đơn giản nhưng đã bị bỏ quên trên con đường vội vã trưởng thành, hoặc rằng nó vẫn ở đâu đó trong lòng bạn chờ bạn mở ra cánh cửa đón nhận nó.

Bởi đời người đôi khi chỉ cần một ai đó, dù là xa lạ, hỏi rằng: "Bạn sống có vui không?" Nhiều người trẻ cùng thế hệ biết cách đi tới hạnh phúc, thay vì những mộng tưởng. Nhưng có những người đôi khi cố đi tìm sự phù phiếm, so sánh bản thân hơn thua với người đời mà quên mất bình an hạnh phúc là xuất phát từ tâm hồn. Hạnh phúc không phải một điểm đến mà là một hành trình dài. Hạnh phúc nảy mầm từ những điều bạn làm trong hành trình đi tới thành công. Đôi khi quá trình ấy không quan trọng việc bạn có tìm được hay không nhưng những bài học trên hành trình tìm kiếm đó sẽ mở ra nhiều trải nghiệm tuyệt vời.

Bằng lời văn gần gũi nhưng sâu lắng của nhà thơ Nguyễn Phong Việt - người từng trải qua tuổi trẻ nhiệt huyết, cũng va chạm đủ với mọi thăng trầm của đời sống, “Chúng ta sống có vui không?” sẽ đem đến những bất ngờ dành cho độc giả đã quen gặp anh qua thơ. Với tất cả những trải nghiệm mà anh đã đi qua, mỗi chúng ta đều có thể thấy phảng phát một phần chính bản thân mình để rồi suy ngẫm, khích lệ mình hơn, phấn đấu và sống như những gì mình hằng mong đợi. Sau đó, hãy sống thật tốt, tận hưởng trọn vẹn cho tuổi trẻ của mình bởi chúng ta đâu thể biết được ngày cuối cùng ta sống: hôm nay, ngày mai hay một ngày nào đó khác!

The title of this poetry collection, 'Where Do the Wounds Go?' prompts the reader to reflect on a deeply personal question: Where do the emotional wounds of our youth and experiences go? Have they been forgotten, or do they quietly linger in a corner, no longer speaking out? Do these wounds help us grow or gradually harden us? Through 60 of his latest poems, Nguyễn Phong Việt maintains the same poetic style that has characterized his work from the beginning, but this time, he conveys the most positive and uplifting emotions. Regardless of how we were in the past or how hopeless our wounds might seem, we must continue living and living well for ourselves. When we treat our hearts fairly, true love will eventually find its way to us. This is always how it works... 'Where Do the Wounds Go?' is not just Nguyễn Phong Việt's fifth poetry book; it is also a heartfelt gift for the readers who have supported his work over the last five years. Phong Việt shares: "Releasing one poetry book every year, as I promised, certainly comes with pressure. Writing is just one of the things I do; I'm not a full-time writer, and I can't write every day. But above all, it brings me great joy, especially when I see readers eagerly awaiting my books and choosing them as gifts for themselves or loved ones each Christmas. Knowing this, any pressure or fatigue I feel while writing becomes insignificant..." This is his fifth book, and readers are undoubtedly curious about what new elements Nguyễn Phong Việt brings compared to his previous collections. He confidently asserts that his writing style remains the same, but the stories and emotions in this latest book are entirely new experiences, ones he had never encountered before until he began writing 'Where Do the Wounds Go?' He feels confident in the inspiration he’s drawing from and the words he’s crafting.

As a yearly tradition, poet Nguyễn Phong Việt unveils a collection of poems reflecting on love and life. With 60 pieces, this collection offers a message for every grown individual: no matter how many challenges and heartaches life throws at us, the strength and instinct within us are limitless. Only then do we learn how to heal our wounds, rise after each fall, and heal our hearts after the love we thought would end happily-ever-after fades. Nguyễn Phong Việt confessed that his previous collection, 'Passing Through Nostalgia,' left the deepest mark on his heart. So, what makes his seventh collection, 'Believe in Your Uniqueness,' stand out, causing him to take a deep breath upon completing its final lines? Is there something heavier in this new collection? "For me, 'Believe in Your Uniqueness' was an opportunity to deeply explore my own soul, break it down, and teach it to rise again after many setbacks. Writing these poems has allowed me to grow as well. That’s why I believe this collection will offer readers new faith and help them embrace self-compassion. Here, the love is self-love—choosing yourself as the pillar to face life's challenges. If we are unique, why not live for ourselves and kindle hope for ourselves?" shared Nguyễn Phong Việt. 'Believe in Your Uniqueness' will be a new form of resilience—stronger than ever—that Nguyễn Phong Việt offers to readers who have grown alongside him through seven Christmas seasons. It will answer those moments when our hearts feel heavy: "Solitude in life can sometimes bring peace, leaving nothing left to fear."

With his unmistakable style and emotionally impactful poetry, Nguyễn Phong Việt presents his latest collection, 'Passing Through Nostalgia.' This collection marks a milestone of ten years of poetic evolution. "We are grateful to be here together!" Readers of Nguyễn Phong Việt’s poetry often find themselves unexpectedly connecting with strangers through his words, discovering fragments of their own life stories. They’ve shared feelings of deep sorrow, moments of hopelessness intertwined with fleeting joy, and experiences of self-doubt and struggles with their inner selves. 'Passing Through Nostalgia' offers straightforward yet profound poetry that captures empathy, understanding, and emotional resonance. It provides an opportunity for readers to reflect on life’s emotional highs and lows, as well as the moments of tenderness and growth. "Love never hurts, it’s just a matter of choosing whom to love more than ourselves..." "A little sadness is enough, then we continue living, choosing to be human, the more scars we carry, the simpler our dreams become, no expectations for others to bring us happiness, but we learn to wish for peace every day..." So many lines where readers can find their own truth and solace, discovering the healing power of poetry. At some point, everyone will find their way to peace, closing the chapter on turbulent times, because only we possess: "A voice inside, so remember to listen..." Take time each year to clear your mind and listen to your heart. Sit quietly, find your peace, and open the delicate, understanding pages of 'Passing Through Nostalgia.' This collection also marks the end of a ten-year journey for Nguyễn Phong Việt—let’s await the new transformations he will bring in the future.

In December 2012, Nguyễn Phong Việt published his debut poetry collection, 'Passing Through Nostalgia – How many people have passed through nostalgia but forgotten each other?' In December 2013, his second collection, 'From Love to Affection – If life were smooth, who would we shed tears for?' was released. Now, in December this year, Nguyễn Phong Việt returns with his third collection, continuing the themes of the previous two, titled 'Like a Reverse Flow, Born to Be Alone.' Phong Việt's poetry has a unique, simple way of telling stories that effortlessly touches the deepest emotions of the reader. His words, though seemingly simple, are imbued with such delicate empathy and understanding. 'Born to Be Alone' carries this profound empathy, posing a poignant question: "Born to be alone? Why, why must we carry loneliness within us since the moment we are born?" while simultaneously offering a bold declaration: "We are born to be alone!" With 'Born to Be Alone,' Nguyễn Phong Việt leads readers on a journey through solitude with simple, yet powerful verses. We follow these verses unconsciously, only to find ourselves questioning our own existence. The many forms of loneliness become tangible in his words. It is the loneliness of hearts waiting to be filled, the isolation of incomplete love, the yearning of souls craving understanding, or perhaps the solitary sadness of a grain of sand in an endless desert. Loneliness visits each person, as familiar as a morning cup of coffee—"needed for the bitterness in the heart," sometimes appearing suddenly like an afternoon rain, when we feel lost in the downpour, or simply as a constant companion, an old friend that even tears recognize. Loneliness builds upon itself, but why? Why must we bear this burden of solitude? When did it all begin? "We were lonely from the very first moment we learned to sigh, growing up and aging with a hundred thousand memories we must carry..." (Excerpt from 'Late Night IV')

Bản thân sợ nhất là lúc này không muốn nhìn vào đâu nữa vì có quá nhiều đắng cay… Nếu có thể cho mình dừng lại tất cả mọi giác quan trong một ngày để cúi xuống trở về như đứa trẻ thế giới lặng im giống lần đầu tiên nhìn thấy một con người xa lạ và trái tim sau nhiều năm hóa đá bỗng vỡ đến tan tành… Sẽ cảm nhận tất cả màu sắc chỉ còn là màu xanh thứ hy vọng nhỏ nhoi để thấy mình sinh ra còn ý nghĩa những ác mộng dưới gối chăn giờ có thêm một bầu trời nương tựa dù mình lẻ loi đến mức nào đi nữa cũng không sao!

Có những ánh sáng luôn ở đấy nhưng chẳng thể chạm vào chỉ để tin mình sẽ có một vùng da ấm áp khi đưa mặt ra nhưng nhận về là một giọt nước mắt mình biết phải tự tha thứ cho mình… Rồi ai cũng phải chọn riêng trái tim một hành trình để đi đến cuối dù phải qua bao dâu bể hết một ngày thôi và mình trở lại là mình với ngập ngừng từng hơi thở nếu cuộc đời này chỉ ngồi xuống để nhớ sẽ vô nghĩa đến bao nhiêu?

Bản thân sợ nhất là lúc này ước mơ chưa kịp nhìn thấy nắng đã phải tắt cho kịp buổi chiều! -Trích Bản thân sợ nhất là lúc này -
