Picking Off New Shoots Will Not Stop the Spring: Witness Poems and Essays from Burma/Myanmar (1988-2021) | Ko Ko Thett, Brian Haman
1 post
A feast for the literary imagination, an elegy to those who have fallen, and a courageous act of defiance, these firsthand accounts and witness poetry provide an important window into the February 2021 Spring Revolution in Myanmar.

Mini haul from the Brooklyn Book Festival. It was a miserable rainy day and many vendors couldn't display their books. I was better this year about checking to see what was available at the library and mostly only buying harder to find books (or the ones with good deals). I always buy from Gaudy Boy, a very small press that publishes SE Asia authors and other harder to find areas. Tagged book is an anthology of Burmese writers.

BarbaraBB Wow. I don‘t know any of these! 3mo
Liz_M @BarbaraBB That was the point! 😁 The top one was longlisted for the National Book Award for Translated Literature and has gotten good reviews on LT.

@sarahbarnes Thanks! I might even read some of these one day....
