Bones Will Crow: 15 Contemporary Burmese Poets | 
so-soI‘m not too sure how to review this.
I didn‘t find it that easy to connect with the #poetry. It felt very ‘Literary‘ - the sort of thing you study, rather than just read. There were just three women included in the collection (which we‘re assured is actually an impressive number), and I found it slightly easier to get a grip on those poems, possibly because they‘re writing from outside the establishment.
rockpools On the other hand, I found the author biographies and insights into life in #Myanmar/Burma absolutely fascinating, and it‘s made me want to read more from the country. #ReadingAsia2021 #Booked2021 #poetryorwritteninverse @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft 3y
Librarybelle Nice review! It‘s great when notes in the book make you wish to explore more about the topic or country. 3y
BarbaraBB I think I‘ll need something more readable for Myanmar, this one sounds too tough! 3y

Cinfhen I love your reviews. They are always so thoughtful and entertaining!!!! Thanks for sharing 3y
rockpools @Cinfhen Aw, thank you Cindy! 3y
rockpools @BarbaraBB I don‘t think I‘d particularly recommend it. Except that it‘s dual language, so it‘s much shorter than it looks and you get to admire the Myanmar text all the way through... 3y
rockpools @Librarybelle It is - it‘s not somewhere I‘ve ever read about before! 3y
