The poem “Quang Bihn” by Y Nhi was written about the authors past. It is a very remorseful tone, flashbacks of the good and the bad times. The author had a rough life at the beginning of the poem because Y Nhi’s brother died in the war and her father that left the author and his mom alone. There is lots of deep meaning behind the authors’ words. In “Quang Bihn” the author uses color archetypes to create a remorseful tone. The author shifted so subtly between present and past times that is almost unnoticed until the tail end of the poem.
