Southeast Asian speculative poetry, where Vietnamese, Lao and Hmong writers are creating some very interesting work. For example, Vietnamese American writer Bao Phi often alludes to science fiction and fantasy in his poems. Particularly noteworthy is his "Godzilla Sestina" which explores his journey as an Asian American refugee using a grueling Italian form and the metaphor of giant atomic monsters from Japan.
