An American poet named A. J. Patrick Liszkiewicz heard this news and has put together with twelve contributors a small book of poems celebrating Saw Wai’s special valentine. The book is available here (PDF) and is of course called “Power Crazy Senior General Than Shwe.” All of the poems in it play with those words, some mimicking in English Wai’s first-word strategy, others doing more cryptic exercises, working the phrase in forward and backward and at angles. You could waste hours at the office or on the train or in bumper-to-bumper unraveling these gems.
