So recently I was asked to write my Bio for a poetry event happening on December 1st, 2012. Here goes:


Bio:

Vuong Pham is a schoolteacher of English and SOSE. He likes teaching his students poetry and haiku at any chance the principal is not looking. His poetry has received awards in the ‘Ipswich Poetry Feast Competition’ (2011, 2012); the ‘Inspired by Tagore International Writing Competition’ (2012); and the ‘Free XpresSion Haiku Competition’ (2012). Vuong’s first book is due to be released mid next year, and is also working on his haiku book, which will be published after his first book. Some of Vuong’s hobbies include playing outdoor and indoor soccer, nature walks, and practicing piano via YouTube video tutorials. He strongly identifies as a devout Christian and walks in the light. He blogs occasionally at http://versesoftheinnerself.blogspot.com.
