He is recipient of numerous prestigious literary awards for his poetry. When asked about his latest book of poetry “Firmament Without Roof Cover” Phan says: ” I have seen the loss and leftovers of the poetic trends and phenomena over the past I have left the old poetics of experiences, emotions, feelings beyond the restrictions of traditional forms.

“Each poem I write is always a beginning. There are still human relationships around, the desire and hope for a better life with more justice and but it is as if I’ve just met these elements for the first time and continue to be awed by this new atmosphere, here in Vietnam, which is both conscious and passionate.”

” I returned to the place I was born to understand the culture of the northern regions of Vietnam; the customs, traditions and identities of the people in the Red River Delta in the countryside and sacred atmosphere, in a simple and original moon season, in the love for nature and humanity.”

” I write the multiple dimensions of emotions and new ideas, as well as mixing and overlapping many dimensions of time and space in my poetic work as you will read in this book, Firmament Without Roof Cover
