About the author:

ko ko thett calls himself a poet of no place, a transnational poet, as opposed to a poet of place, a national poet. He was born in Burma, but he has no idea what Burmeseness entails - the untenable notion of Burmeseness/Myanmarness is a theme he explores in The Burden of Being Burmese (Zephyr, 2015). From 2012 to 2020, ko ko thett was country editor for Myanmar at Poetry International<https://www.poetryinternational.com/en/>, and from 2017 to 2022, poetry editor for Mekong Review<https://mekongreview.com/>. His work in poetry translation has been recognized with an English PEN award. He currently lives in Norwich, UK.
