Kyi May Kaung's short story Beast wins award --

Editor in Chief Dorothy Seyler, TNVR.

My short story Beast, based on the Thiha Bahu legend in Burma, won an award at The Northern Virginia Review, published by Northern Virginia Community College, in Annandale, VA.

TNVR also published my painting, Lady Vanda. Copies are available from NVCC Bookstore.

The award ceremony was on Thursday, March 20, 2008.

I also enjoyed the keynote speech, which was about the healthy (and commercial as well as artistic) rivalry between Marlowe and Shakespeare.

What trump does is he stirs up people to be panicked, then he works through executive orders--Dems short comings are they work through legal

channels, whilehe stretches the limits--and tries to undermine the system.
