Poems Written Through Barbed-wire Fences (Paperback)

Paperback. This chapbook by Ro Mehrooz is the first time that the work of a single Rohingyan poet has appeared in print in a bilingual edition. The Rohingya people continue to experience genocide at the hands of the Myanmar military, so it is not surprising that Ros poems are full of anger, anguish and despair, although there are moments of light as he reflects upon the traditions and customs of his people. James Byrnes informative introduction, together with Ros deeply-affecting poems, paint a stark and unforgettable picture of this war-torn, torture-ravaged and largely forgotten area of Myanmar.
