In the late 1960’s, Komunyakaa served as a correspondent for Army publications in Vietnam. Although he uses images from his experience in many of his works, the poet deals directly with the war in his collection Dien Cai Dau. The title means “crazy” in Vietnamese and was used by locals to refer to American soldiers fighting in their country.
