Burning the Sun’s Braids: New Poetry from Tibet, ed. & trans. Bhuchung D. Sonam
‘Stitched from multiple voices speaking of multiple experiences and reactions, this collection of poetry weaves a portrait of a land where “fearsome military guards like tigers and leopards / Are even devouring the butter lamps” (“My Vision Of The Potala”, Dhi Lhaden) where people still find the courage to “every now and then … say ‘NO!’” (“Crime of Love”, Dhi Lhaden).’
