Vietnam war has been one of the most destructive wars in history. Yet, “so much is told about Vietnam, and so little is understood” amid a “skipping over” of the Vietnam War through an organized and strategic forgetting of a war that “went wrong” by America’s self-appointed role as liberators.

It is September 23, 1972.
My family members rustle around the house, the neighborhood dogs are making their presence known, and the rhythmic static of the radio plays its tune. I greet the breeze knocking against my window, the sun peeking through the dancing linen curtains, and the thin layer of sweat on my forehead. I say hello to the aroma of my parents’ freshly brewed barako coffee and the all-too-familiar scent of our favorite snack[1] , turon. It is just another day in September, but it was a day like no other.
With the help and support of many people, we were finally able to publish the second issue of Polyphony. Access our newest work!
