WORD IMPLANTATION TECHNIQUE IN LE DAT‘S POETRY

Abstract

Le Dat is an outstanding and original phenomenon in Vietnamese literature in general, and in Vietnamese poetry in particular. His lifetime and creativity journey were tied to the ups and downs of the country’s history. After working hard in silence for over 30 years, Le Dat has carried out the remarkable exploration of the poem forms through four poem volumes Bong chu (1994), Ngo loi (1997), U75 tu tinh (2007) and Duong chu (2009). One of the innovations in the form of Le Dat’s poem is to create an “another logic” in poetic language paradigm. In particular, word implantation technique presents a breakthrough in creating pristine, virgin and “germinated” words.
