Bamboophobia

Bilingual in Burmese and English

von Ko Ko Thett

Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Ko ko thett's poems - described by John Ashbery as "brilliantly off-kilter" - bring oddball lists, linguistic inventiveness, and sardonic humor to the brutal contradictions of life and history in and outside of his native Burma. In some poems he muses on chairs or metaphors or potatoes, while elsewhere, and often with the same, dispassionate tone, he turns his gaze on a strangulating bureaucracy or the horrific treatment of prisoners. Thett writes in Burmese and in English. In this second volume to appear in English, most are English originals but thirteen will be presented bilingually on facing pages.
