The Burden of Being Burmese

Description
Ko Ko Thett is one of the most well-established contemporary Burmese poets. He writes comfortably in both Burmese and English, and he also has a strong reputation as being one of Burma's finest translators and editors. A vast majority of contemporary Burmese writing that has found its way into English translation and publication has been at the hands of Ko Ko Thett. He is also integrally linked to contemporary political movements in Burma (having spent a number of months in prison in Yangon) and is actively working on the development of the new Burma/Myanmar. This book is significant as the first single-author collection in English by a Burmese poet, though his work will fit comfortably on the shelf next to John Ashbery, Clark Coolidge and Bernadette Mayer.
