Chris Galvin Nguyen is a writer and photographer dividing her time between Canada and her second home, Việt Nam. She is grateful to her in-laws for enduring countless questions about Vietnamese culture and history. Her words and images have appeared in various anthologies and literary journals, including Descant, PRISM International, Room, and others. Her memoir piece "Flood Season", published in the March 2012 issue of Cha, was a finalist for a Best of the Net award. Her essay "Bombshell" was chosen as runner-up for best creative nonfiction in Briarpatch Magazine’s 2015 Writing in the Margins contest. Nguyen is currently looking for a home for her recently completed manuscript, Breakfast Under the Bodhi Tree, a book about living, eating, and tour-guiding in Việt Nam. [Photography]
