VietPhilly is a Vietnamese American writer devoted to preserving stories of war and exile, love and family, spiritual reflection, and the quiet courage of everyday life.
Jim Huynh writes under the pen name VietPhilly. He began turning a lifetime of memory, loss, endurance, faith, and affection into books and poems for future generations.
His work brings together poetry, memoir, cultural reflection, spiritual writing, and legacy books. Titles such as Beyond Saigon River, The Tale of Mother Vietnam, When Robes Meet the Road, and Thăm Nuôi trace journeys across history and geography—from Vietnam to Philadelphia and beyond—while honoring those whose lives might otherwise remain unrecorded. Together, these works form a personal archive for the Vietnamese diaspora and an invitation to any reader who values truth told from the heart.
