- More about A Plucked Zither
A Plucked Zither examines the effects of migration on language, emotions, and relationships, utilizing non-linear, multilingual voice(s) to reflect the disparate nature of memory and the operation of other ways of knowing. It draws on the poetic lineage of Trịnh Công Sơn to explore grief, longing, and justice while moving with loss.

A Plucked Zither delves into the profound impact of migration on language, emotions, and relationships, particularly in the context of refugee migration from Vietnam. The speaker navigates a complex web of identities, oscillating between establishing a home in the United States and preserving their connection to Vietnam. Through the use of non-linear, multilingual voice(s), the speaker highlights the diverse nature of memory and the existence of alternative forms of knowledge. The act of speaking becomes a means of bridging the gaps created by historical forces of war and imperialism, while simultaneously maintaining a deep connection to that history. Vuong draws upon the poetic legacy of anti-war Vietnamese singer and songwriter Trịnh Công Sơn to explore themes of grief, longing, and justice. Instead of succumbing to loss, the speaker(s) embrace it, leaping across the gaps that divide them.
