Description: Paper analyzing and interpreting a collection of poetry by Thai contemporary poet Saksiri Meesomsueb, Tukta Roi Sai (Sand Trace Dolls). By Soraj Hongladarom.
At first glance it might seem incongruous to discuss postmodernism and Thai poetry. For one thing, postmodernism is a Western trend, which seems to be far removed from the context of Thai poetry. Of all the fine arts in Thailand, poetry is the one least affected by Western ideas. Unlike fields such as music or paintings where the practitioners have opportunities to study abroad and to experience a wide variety of Western artistic expressions, contemporary Thai poets as a rule have seldom been exposed to the poetry of any other nations, let alone Western ones.
