Ko Ko Thett

Ko Ko Thett’s comfort zone is Burmese, but he also enjoys the discomfort of English, a language most of which he learned, and is still learning, as a poet. An Iowa fellow, he has published and edited several poetry collections and translations. His poems are widely translated, and he is a recipient of the English PEN Translates Award. Thett’s most recent poetry collection is BAMBOOPHOBIA.
