Burma: Bones Will Crow - Sunday (05/05/2013) @3:00pm

[Tim Aye-Hardy]

Hello everyone,

 

It's a bit of a last-minute notice, but just in case you're in NYC this Sunday... Please stop by this Sunday @3:00pm at The Public Theater (425 Lafayette St., NY 10003 - www.pen.org/event/2013/02/28/burma-bones-will-crow) for a healthy dose of poetry – beauty, deprivation and intensity of life, love, peace, emotions, feelings, unknowns, struggles and triumphs from once a locked-down society called Burma..:-)

 

TakeCare,

~Tim

Burma has a long and difficult history. For writers, it is a place where foreign books and the Internet are regarded with suspicion, a place where censorship has been an industry. However, there have been recent glimmers of hope. Two of the country’s most esteemed poets, Zeyar Lynn and Khin Aung Aye, will read from their work and discuss the country’s budding literary scene with the editor of Bones Will Crow, the first anthology of contemporary Burmese poetry to be published in the West.

Moderated by Phillip Howze.

212-967-7555 or www.publictheater.org, or visit The Public Theater Box Office at 425 Lafayette Street. Box Office Hours: Sun-Mon 1-6 pm, Tue-Sat 1-7:30 pm

Presented in association with The Public Theater, a center for culture, arts, and ideas.
