"The Rohingya poets gathered here for the first time in English
hold a mirror to the light for the rest of humanity, flashing their
poems of misery and warning from the genocidal zone and refugee
camp of Cox's Bazaar. Their songs are more accurate than news
reports for word of the plight of the most oppressed. These are
poems that begin with the fragrance on the bird's handkerchief and
end by walking among the mass graves. They write from a dire
present to a possible future, wondering in their peril if the world
outside was too quiet to hear them. Let the world not be quiet, let
the world listen to these poems." - Carolyn Forche "I Am a Rohingya
implores the world to listen to the spirit of a people who have
experienced some of the worst human rights abuses on the planet.
These poems have no alternative but to speak out, they are from a
crisis that must be addressed. There is brilliance in here!" - John
