  • On-Ramp to the Apocalypse: an Interview with Truong Tran by Wei Ming Dariotis
    Asian American Literature: Discourses and Pedagogies 4 (2013) 1-3. On-ramp to the Apocalypse: An Interview with Truong Tran By Wei Ming Dariotis Truong Tran is the author of five books of poetry: Four letter Words (2008), within the margin (2004), dust and conscience (2002), Placing the Accents (1999), and The Book of Perceptions (1999). He also wrote the children’s book Going Home Coming Home (2003). Born in Saigon in 1969, Tran graduated with his BA from UC Santa Cruz in 1992 and his MFA in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University in 1995. He has taught creative writing throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including at San Francisco State University, the UC Berkeley Extension, and Mills College, as well as at Goddard College in Vermont. His first solo exhibition as a visual artist, "the lost and the found", was held at Kearney Street Workshop in San Francisco in 2010. This interview took place on February 25, 2013 at Four Barrels Coffee on Valencia in San Francisco, California. AALDP: What questions have you tried to answer with your poetry? Truong Tran: It is the same question I ask my students all the time, which is: Why? Why are we doing what it is that we are doing? AALDP: How have you seen yourself grow as a writer since 1992, when you moved to San Francisco to go to the MFA program in creative writing at SF State? Truong Tran: I've grown to distrust language. I've grown to extend my thinking beyond language. I see myself not as a writer but as an artist.

  • An Artistic Statement By: Truong Tran
    An artistic statement By: Truong Tran I was born in Saigon, Vietnam in 1969 and immigrated with my family to the Unites States at the age of five. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1992. In 1995, I earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from San Francisco State University. Over the course of my career, my work has been featured at art galleries across the Bay area. In addition to crafting visual art, I’m a published poet and have received several awards for my work. I’m also a professor and teach creative writing at San Francisco State University and Mills College. My art teases the lines between genre, materiality and movement, between subject and object. Instead of thinking outside the box, I’ve gone lengths to rid myself of it. I don’t paint, draw or sculpt. My process for creating art is founded in the doing. I find handed down, discarded and long forgotten objects. Ping-Pong balls. Cutout dolls. Paint chips. Porn. Lab-beakers. Plastic frames. I look at them and wait for these objects to speak to me. I glue things together. Sometimes, dip things in wax. I cut. I build. I weave. And in doing so, I lose myself in the process. A few principles inform my art. Containment embodies the threshold, providing me with a context to work within or around. And my art is derived from compulsion. I attribute my art not to any inherent artistic talent but to my obsessive-compulsive drive.
