Abstract
Since 1986, social change has had significant impact on the artistic thinking of Vietnamese poets. During this period, a breakout has occured in both content and form, especially poetic language. Never before has the language become so rich and abundant, which also includes symbolic language, superrealist language, body language, sexual language apart from informal one. One may even see “intentionally fragmented language” which is created in seek of a sense of oddness.
