How/where to review my books on Amazon--

If you wish to review my books--i.e. write a review of one of my books, this is the best place to do it.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=K%20Kaung%20K%20M%20Kaung

It does not matter whether you bought or read a print or an e-edition.

Go to the title you wish to review, click on the cover image, and write in/type in or cut and paste in your review at the line which says "Be the first to review this item"  Rank it zero to five out of five stars.

Kindle is a division of Amazon.

And most people now read on Kindle.

Thanks in advance.

You support means much to me.

Buddhist Art of Burma--

with Friend--

saw among other items, a 4-5th century stele from Burma--possibly oldest artifact ever found

and my friend mentioned by name in this NYTS article.

Make sure you take a look at this, as you will not find such good photos of the items in the show anywhere else.

In fact, looked like they only allowed the NYTS and no one else, to take photos.

Burmese art conservation in NY

If not a "makeover" at least old Burmese art objects did get a modern medical checkup in NY.
One visit I am told, cost $3000.

Poem--Helluva way to make modern crushed sculpture by KM Kaung

Helluva way to make modern crushed sculpture.

1.  Recruit poor young men.
2.  Train them.
3.  Tell them they will die a martyr's death and go straight to heaven, with x number of virgins in attendance.
4.  Promise pensions to their mothers.
5.  Buy box cutters.
6.  Execute the plan.

--you will now have lots of crushed beams and other survivor building components.

We all know the 9/11 photos were sanitized, censored or "edited".

I have had a lot of experience with in- house Burmese editors.

The taxi drivers mentioned strewn body parts.

Among the parts there would be a lot of blood and heads, no??

So what if survivor parts and stories were collected say from The Daisy Cutter?

Drone attacks?

Museum for that?  Those?

I don't know the answers any more.

I model this poem on Rumi's and Faiz Ahmad Faiz's.

I don't know the answers.

You figure it out.

You tell me.

You tell me.
