Uyghurland collects over two decades of Ahmatjan Osman's poetry in
Jeffrey Yang's collaborative translations from the Uyghur and
Arabic. Osman, the foremost Uyghur poet of his generation, channels
his ancestors alongside Mallarme and Rimbaud, observing the world
from exile. Born in 1964, Osman grew up in Urumchi, the capital and
the largest city of East Turkistan. In 1982 Osman became one of the
first Uyghur students to study abroad after the end of the Cultural
Revolution, spending several years at Damascus University in Syria
studying Arabic literature. He later returned to China where he
struggled to find work because of "security" issues with the
Chinese government.
