Our Private Literature First Edition, 2009

Our Private Literature First Edition 2009 is a collection of fifteen poems by a group of young Manipuri poets who are collectively known as Anonymous Fireflies. They are engaged in writing poetry, music and plays of their homeland which has lost its meaning among the smoking guns, dead bodies, burning effigies, etc.

Most of the poems in this edition were written post 23 July fake encounter at BT Road in Imphal. This group has been trying to express the angst of a generation, which is often trampled upon and silenced by the current turmoil in Manipur.
