Đèn đỏ

Đèn đỏ

Tôi đứng trước một ngã tư
Đèn đỏ ngăn tôi lại
Những dòng người ra đi tất bật
Gió mát sau lưng họ

Chúng tôi, nhiều thế hệ
Bị giữ lại bởi đèn đỏ
Chúng tôi không cất bước được
Chúng tôi không bay lên được
Giao lộ ở khắp nơi
Không ai có thể vượt qua màu đỏ

Chúng tôi đứng trước ngã tư
Nhiều thế hệ

Chỉ một con đường đầy bụi đỏ trước mắt

Bùi Chát named and co-founded Nhóm Mở Miệng (Open Mouth Group) with poet Lý Đợi, whose aim is to promote “garbage poetry” and “cemetary poetry”.

He also founded Nhà Xuất bản Giấy Vụn (Scrap Paper Publishing House) which prints and distributes, in xerographic form, works by 'pavement poets' which run the risk of being censored.

Bùi Chát works mainly as manager of Scrap Paper Publishing House.

Just now the young Vietnamese Publisher was honoured in Buenos Aires on 25 April with the 2011 IPA Freedom to Publish Prize for courage under difficult conditions. Followed by international incomprehension, he was arrested upon his return to Vietnam on 30 April. His award was confiscated.

The International Publishers Association (IPA) condemned the arrest and called for his immediate release.
