U.S. President Bill Clinton ended his historic three- day visit to Vietnam Sunday with a call for stronger relations between the two countries. Now, a new collection of poetry is giving American readers an insight into one of Vietnam's most famous poets, Ho Xuan Huong, an 18th century woman. The collection is called Spring Essence and it's translated by John Balaban. Bridget Kinsella reports.
