To Whom It May Concern:

This is to certify that this man is

A half-backed nut flew off

From a disused frying pen,

A black pebble shot forth

From an un-owned sling,

A broken eggshell

Fallen off from an abandoned nest.

He is equipped with claws

Horns, tails, hoofs and hunger.

He is an anti-anti-social element

Constantly throwing up words

Into the degradable social garbage.

Sungchuk Kyi

Sungchuk Kyi was born in Amdo, Northeastern Tibet. She is, perhaps, one of the most accomplished exile Tibetan women poets writing in Tibetan. Her poetry books include Tomb, Corals' Fate  and Cry of the Earth, a collection of short stories.

She escaped from Tibet in 2002 after a renewed crackdown on Tibetan literature and intellectuals by the Chinese authorities. Kyi's new book collection of poems is ready for publication.
