Poetry in Place: Bryna Antonia Cortes at Friends of Little Saigon
For this poetry display at Friends of Little Saigon, my designer Jayme Yen chose a typeface created by a Vietnamese font designer which pairs visually well with the Vietnamese language. Bryna Antonia Cortes sent a wonderful poem about the neighborhood of Little Saigon that we asked if we could translate into Vietnamese. Her grandfather did the translation and it is the only poem in the public poetry campaign that appears in two languages.
