Kyi May Kaung's bio from SULU DC site

KYI MAY KAUNG
With a doctorate in Political Economy from the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Kaung first started writing poetry in a great binge in the mid-90s when she realized return to Burma would be impossible. Kaung’s poetry addresses the many horrible and heartbreaking things about current day Burma, including the rape of the environment and rape as a weapon of war. At times intensely personal as well as vivid, her poetry manages to convey what “dry statistics” and a plethora of human rights reports cannot. Kaung also writes fiction and non-fiction and paints.
