This obituary of Nguyen Chi Thien is fascinating. A poet and a hero.

Nguyen Chi Thien, who has died aged 73, spent nearly 30 years in prisons and
“re-education” camps in Vietnam because he had the temerity to insist on
historical truth and to write poems which attacked communist repression.

Richard Owen writes:

I have often thought that if in the unlikely circumstance someone forced me to invent one test to spell high future potential trading macro, it would be poetry comprehension.
