This is the first anthology of work by the celebrated Burmese poet Zeyar Lynn, translated by the author and Ko Ko Thett. It offers readers a rich selection of Lynn's cerebral, deadpan and bracing absurdist poetry.
Besides his own work, Lynn has translated numerous Western poets into Burmese, including Sylvia Plath, John Ashbery and Charles Bernstein. Zeyar Lynn's influence is widely felt among Burmese poets, and with Nobody Represents Me the power of Lynn's experimentation will find an audience in the UK.
