VOV.VN - Local poet Kieu Bich Hau took part in the European Poetry Festival 2020 for its duration between October 9 and October 11 in Como, Italy.
Originally from Hanoi, 48-year-old Bich Hau has published nine short stories, in addition to a number of novels.
Her participation in the event comes following her recent release of an English-Italian bilingual poetry collection titled “Unknown”, which was released by Italy’s publishing house I Quaderni del Bardo.
Taking part in the European Poetry Festival 2020 offered Bich Hau the opportunity to produce a video in which to perform some of her poetry from “Unknown”.
