“Resiste ao sangue e às cólicas”: “The G-Girl” e outros poemas de Tenzin Choezin

Abstract

The three poems of Tibetan exile poet Tenzin Choezin translated in this article offer a glimpse into the tapestry of intercultural lives of Tibetans in exile. This tapestry is at once familiar in its themes of shared traditions across the world around gender struggles or children’s ghost stories, and different in its projection in the poems in the form of dialog with the other as well as in the creative use of Tibetan-English language.
