Lao Poetics by Maha Sila Viravong

For those of you who've been interested in classical ideas of Lao poetics, there's this handbook on Lao poetics by the late Maha Sila Viravong at Archive.org. It's all in Lao, but many of you may be able to find it an interesting introduction to the historical mechanics of it. Mind you, this is not the last word in Lao poetics by far, but it is one of the more modern conversations we had in the 20th century. There are many more discussions to be had: http://archive.org/stream/LaoGrammarPart4Poetics_694/LaoGrammarPart4Santhalaksna#page/n0/mode/2up
