Mizzima Burmese photo essay/poem - The Urban City

http://www.mizzimaburmese.com/ Informal translation/summary.
For someone from the village the city is too tight, too dark. There must be a way out. There must be a hole somewhere.
Translation Kyi May Kaung I like the blocks and abstract quality of this essay.

Ruth Prawer Jhabvala--I have a volume of her short stories--which I like a great deal.
