Born in i 1964, Osman grew up in Urumqi, the capital and largest city of East Turkistan: ln 1982, he became one of the first Uyghur students to study abroad after the end of the Cultural Revolution, spending several years studying Arabic literature at Damascus University in Syria. Uyghurlandisthe first-ever collection of poetry to be translated from the Uyghur language into English."--Page 4 of cover.
