The Necklace of Pearls: Introduction to the poems of ‘Jam-dbyangs Chos-sgron
with Iacobella Gaetani
The poetic works of 'Jam-dbyang Chos-sgron describe the remarkable story of an educated and deeply religious woman destined to play a significant role in the history of her country. From her privileged upbringing at the court of sDe-dge to her years of imprisonment, her poetry recounts the years of upheaval that shook her homeland during the 20th century.
