Phan Ái Thủy is the pen name of Phan Thị Thủy, a Vietnamese poet, lecturer and educator born in Thái Bình, Vietnam. She fell in love with poetry as a child and was writing her own poems by the age of twelve.
For nearly 17 years she has worked in education, teaching and supporting learners of all ages. Her work earned her scholarships to continue her studies in Australia and the United States, where she now lives.
Today she writes poetry for both adults and children. Her children’s poems draw on everything she has learned in the classroom and her lifelong love of nature, animals and kindness.
From a village in Thái Bình, Vietnam, she showed her love of nature via poems. She could make poems from secondary school. Thuy has worked in education for nearly 17 years and got full scholarships to study higher education in Australia and in the United States.
Her children’s poems bring together her experience as an educator and her love of nature. Poetry can explain things with short sentences, phrases, with rhythm and rhymes that enhance children’s language and knowledge. Reading poetry and observing the surrounding environment may help children reduce stress, find inner peace, learn and enjoy life.
Poetry begins early, and her first poems are written at twelve.
Nearly 17 years as a lecturer and educator.
Scholarships to study in Australia and the United States.
A published collection for adults, and five books for children on the way.
Poetry was one of my first loves, and after nearly 17 years in education, I have seen how a few simple lines can open a child’s eyes to the world.
This deeply moving collection beautifully honors both homeland and heart, weaving memory, longing, and resilience into every page. The poet's voice carries warmth and sincerity, inviting readers to reflect, remember, and cherish their roots and journeys.
There is a rare gentleness in her poetry, a quiet strength that never demands attention yet commands respect. Through graceful language and measured reflection, she reveals courage without noise and hope without pretense, leaving readers moved
Whether you're a parent, teacher, school or reader, Phan Ái Thủy would love to hear from you.
