Her poetry publications in Vietnamese are many (11+ in total). Mai is the founder and owner of the website called THE RHYTHM OF VIETNAM. It is beautifully presented and crafted, the work of authors is neatly translated, decorated and posted on a daily basis.

Emma Hanh Ma was born in Vietnam, and works as an Australian Pharmacist who is rather entrepreneurial. In 2022, Emma was honoured to be inducted into the WA Womens’ Hall of Fame where she was one of the youngest inductees. Her attitude is “No matter how things may appear in life, embrace the moment as everything and everyone in front of us is actually our TEACHER for our personal and ‘collective’ growth. Keep an open mind and welcome life experiences with opened arms and an open HEART.
