Poem #116

Our Spring Was Endless seeks to illuminate the nuances of a faraway life —its fondest moments and its darkest— oftentimes all at once. This collaboration combines poetry, hand-drawn illustrations, and Burmese culture to honor Myanmar's 2021 Spring Revolution. Illustrator Ntxoo Tori Hong and poet Thet-Htar weave Thet-Htar's experiences resisting the brutal military regime and Ntxoo's witnessing and support as an ally from afar. 100% of the primary proceeds from this collection will be donated to 501(c)(3) fiscally sponsored charity Karen Women’s Organization via Every.org. KWO provides emergency assistance to Indigenous women and children displaced by the military junta in Karen State, Myanmar.
