If You Eat a Pomegranate (poem)

Dedication: Vietnamese Poet Thanh Thao This poem was written in 2007 after a visit to Central and Northern Vietnam. The particular inspiration is a lunch my family and I were treated to by a number of Vietnamese writers and poets in Hoi An - there we met the renowned Vietnamese poet and journalist Thanh Thao.
