Abstract:Like many Khmer, Lao, and Thai verse novels of the period, Kaki (pronounced "Kakey") is framed as a past life of the Buddha; however, the story is racier than typical Buddhist fare and is not found in the scriptures. It tells of a complex entanglement of lovers centered around the beautiful Kaki, Brahmadatta's queen. The Buddha-to-be, a half-eagle/half-man or garuda, is endowed with special powers and can transform himself into a handsome youth. King Ang Duong has long been celebrated for his efforts to revive Khmer arts and literature. In the prologue, omitted here, he notes that he translated this novel into Khmer in 1815, while exiled to Bangkok as a young prince. The portion printed here is about a fifth of the whole text and includes the scene in which Kaki and the garuda fall in love. A gandharva is a type of demigod, sometimes depicted as a celestial musician. A babil (pronounced "popil") is a Cambodian ritual object that is used as a candleholder and is the size and shape of a hand mirror. Airavan, the mount of Indra, king of the gods, is usually depicted as a three-headed elephant. tw

Abstract:Anak Brah Bhiramy Bhasa U, born Uk U and popularly known as Krom Ngoy, was one of Cambodia's most influential bards of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Celebrated as a poet of the people, he went from festival to festival in the Cambodian countryside, singing his poems while plucking his collapsible one-string khsae diev for accompaniment. His moralistic verse—full of humor, wit, and vivacity—has struck a chord with Cambodian audiences for generations. These two excerpts from Ngoy's best-known composition, A Garland of New Advice, offer a modern take on the centuries-old tradition of didactic verse, or cpap. The opening excerpt (stanzas 1 to 10) introduces the violence and immorality of the colonial era. The second (stanzas 31 to 38), perhaps the most famous passage in all of Ngoy's poems, urges Cambodians to uphold Khmer traditions in the face of French domination. Ngoy's compositions were recorded in 1930, near the end of his life, thanks to Suzanne Karpelès, who invited him to the Buddhist Institute and asked Khmer scholars to transcribe his compositions. His work continues to influence Cambodian poets and chapei singers today. tw

Abstract:Huot Iv wrote this poem in 1993 while living in France. In 1996, he set some of his poems to music and recorded an album, with singing by Koy Vanna, which was popular in the Khmer diaspora in Paris. "What Would You Like to Eat?" is from that record and is sung to the tune of "Chanthou" (Tuberose Flower), a famous Sinn Sisamouth song. cm/sm
