Timeline
Ha'aretz critic Menahem Ben wrote of her first collection: "How can I describe the magic that has set upon us? This is wondrous poetry. Ever since Yona Wallach in the 1960s and 1970s, we have not seen such a phenomenon."
Poet and writer Tali Lativitzky wrote, "It is impossible to miss Vaan Nguyen's brilliant musicality. Her rich Hebrew has an enviable lack of stereotypes and linguistic and cultural fixations, and her ear perceives all the most desirable compositions of sound and musicality, even if semantically they are zany."
They escaped Vietnam after the end of the Vietnam War, in 1977, after her grandfather was killed by the communist authorities.
