A performance of Burmese poetry in English.
At a turning point in Burma’s history with the release from detention of Aung San Suu Kyi and an amnesty given to some imprisoned writers, the University of Surrey’s English PEN Society presents a performance of Burmese poetry read in English by staff and students.
Bones Will Crow is the first anthology of contemporary Burmese poets published in the West and includes the work of Burmese poets who have been in exile and in prison. The anthology, published by Arc, is the winner of an English PEN award for outstanding literature in translation.
