From the rear cover
In Two Shores, the first collection of poetry by a Vietnamese immigrant to the West, Vuong-Riddick describes life in Vietnam under the Japanese, the Chinese, the Vietminh, the French and the Americans. She also tells of her struggle to create a new reality for herself in the West, first in France and then in Canada. Two Shores is a dual-language edition; Vuong-Riddick wrote the poems first in English and then recreated them in French. In both languages, the poems offer an evocative portrait of a beautiful country devastated by war, and of a woman searching through poetry to come to terms with the new world in which she now lives.
