Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A productive and highly important branch of Nevari literature is poetry. The songs reflect the thought of the Nevars, their way of life, religious belief, their history and folklore. The greatest possible variety of genres and styles have been included in the present anthology. Most of the songs included, religious hymns as well as folksongs and ballads, are still very popular among Nevars. In order to facilitate reading and consultation, the whole corpus of the songs collected has been grouped into four principle sections, namely Religious Poetry, Songs about Love and Marriage, Epic Poetry, Didactic and Enigmatic Verses. The book contains two appendices. While the first lists the talas and ragas, as they are given in the various anthologies published in Nepal, the Second makes an attempt to transpose two songs into the European system of music. The translations are quite faithful and every effort has been made to preserve the spirit and flavour of the original. Contents Preface, Introduction, Translation, I. Religious Poetry: 1.

Book excerpt: Although the tradition of serious literature in Nepal extends back several centuries, most of Nepal's major literary works have been written since World War I. This comparatively young literature reached full maturity in the work of Laxmiprasad Devkota (1909--1959), who wrote in all the principal genres of prose and verse, treating contemporary issues, themes from Sanskrit epic and drama, and subjects from Greek mythology including Prometheus and Circe. At the time of his death, Devkota left behind an immense body of work, much of it unpublished, some of it lost, and some apparently plagiarized by other poets. Untangling many of the ambiguities surrounding the composition of Devkota's poetry, Nepali Visions, Nepali Dreams presents an extended essay on the poet's life and career, along with translations of forty-five poems ranging from short lyrics to lengthy philosophical and satiric works. David Rubin has drawn upon published works currently in print, privately published works , and poems existing solely in the pages of elusive Nepali literary journals to present the first collection in English of Devkota's complex, vigorous poetry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An anthology of poems written originally in English by thirty-seven Nepali poets from the 1950s to the present. Kavya, a representative anthology of Nepal poetry in English, includes works by poets who write from a hybrid, in-between world traced by the traditions of Nepali and English literature as well as the worldviews of western modernity and eastern spiritualism. The poems included in this anthology reveal the evolution of Nepali poetry in English from the 1950s to the present and encompass varied thematic interests, literary styles, and cultural locations. A must read for all those who are interested in the history and practice of Nepali English writing. -Sanjeev Uprety, critic and author of Ghanachakkar Kavya is a remarkable, important collection. The excellent introduction provides context for the emergence of work by Nepali poets choosing to create in English. Rarely does a poetry anthology give us the opportunity to experience such an efflorescence almost in real time, as it is happening. The voices are diverse-many echo with centuries-old contemplative traditions and ceremonies. Others vibrate with anger at injustices and war. Still others spill over with the grief of loss, dislocation and diaspora: "I write of Mother in my not-mother / tongue..." But above all, the anthology is held together by the scents, sounds, images of Nepal-not as exotic abstractions but as a lived, loved home. -Alice Major, author of Welcome to the Anthropocene Kāvya, as we know it, endowed with rasa, alankāra, guna, rīti, lakṣana, belongs to all South Asia. This anthology of Nepali English Kāvyahas confirmed again the great heights reached by the Nepali poets, justifying their place in world literature. The editors of Kāvya have ensured that Mahakavi Devkota will continue to live in the hearts of poetry lovers around the world through the creative ingenuity of poets who inherited his legacy. -Daya Dissanayake, author of Inequality This is a seminal anthology, where a landlocked country comes to life through poetry, under the shade of the mighty Himalayas and the burbling of many rivers. Place resounds in every poem and poet in Kavya, painting a complex landscape of Nepal, where the English language didn't necessarily arrive via colonialism but from the need to communicate with the outer world. Through terraced farms, the overburdened Sherpa carrying goods to Everest base camp, fermented betel nut and kukri knives, we experience the joys and pain of a nation under oligarchy and revolution, where horrific violence exists within stunning vistas of nature. Kavya is a poetic testament of a land and people which are resilient yet thoughtful, where the poems are one of witness and elegy, leaving the reader riveted. -Shikha Malaviya, poet, writer & publisher, Geography of Tongues & In Her Own Voice: Poems of Anandibai Joshee (forthcoming) Rich with imagery and ripe with deep feelings, the poems in Kavya: Representative Nepali Poetry in English are beautifully curated by the five editors. These compassionate, truth-seeking poems rooted in a love of place move beyond borders and boundaries into the timelessness poetry gifts us with. May this necessary and intimate collection reach as many readers as possible. -Catherine Graham, author of Put Flowers Around Us and Pretend We're Dead: New and Selected Poems
