Ý Nhi

Hoàng Thị Ý Nhi (born 1944 in Hội An, Quảng Nam Province) is a Vietnamese poet.

Ý Nhi graduated from Hanoi University, where she studied literature in 1968, and lives in Ho Chi Minh City as a branch manager and editor of the Writers Association's publishing group.

With Thanh Thảo, Nguyen Duy and others, Ý Nhi is associated with the Vietnam-American war period but has become better known as a postwar poet.

Ý Nhi's poetry is characterized by the softness, silence, and loneliness of a woman who last experienced great loss, such as love, in her life.

On November 30, 2015, Y Nhi was awarded 8th Cikada Prize by Sweden for "In recognition of the way she in her poetry so well has defended the inviolability of life".
