Book excerpt: Poetry is the language of the soul. In translation, what does it become? Khas Pidgin is a poetic memoir of an alien non-native speaker in both Nepali and English. "Most of the Khas-Nepali poems collected here were written in Kathmandu before 2005. These early poems possess a kind of raw intensity and emotional authenticity that do not come easily to a poet focused solely on style, excellence in craft. The attempt to translate these proved to be a challenging experience--they fail, obviously, if translated word by word. The earliest works of a poet may not be excellent, but they serve a critical, social or historical function; they help us re/discover the lost, suppressed or forgotten ways and territories of their being in their contemporary society, and the world." (- from the introduction to "Khas Pidgin")

Download or read book Kavya Representative Nepali Poetry in English written by Khem K. Aryal and published by Grey Sparrow Press. This book was released on 2022-12-10 with total page 0 pages. 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

Download or read book Nepali Visions Nepali Dreams written by Laxmiprasad Devkota and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book excerpt: LOST HOROSCOPE is a grand poem of loss, healing and recovery in the Covid times by Himalayan poet Yuyutsu Sharma. The title poem captures, in words of American poet James Ragan, "an enlarged memory of his childhood and his creative will to recover and rediscover what healing eternal truths lay, lost and buried in our collective unconscious decades and centuries ago." "The world-renowned Himalayan poet"--The Guardian "Like 'globes of light' along a narrow path through 'blind night,' these syncopating couplets offer neither escape nor absolution, but something more tangible for 'bleary-eyed wanderers': Company along the way."--Charles Bernstein "Yuyutsu Sharma should be known as The Himalayan Neruda"--Mike Graves "Yuyutsu Sharma is one of the finest poets on planet earth"--American poet Sean Thomas Dougherty, author of The Second O of Sorrow "I feel unable to praise Yuyutsu Sharma's new collection adequately. I think of Whitman, Neruda, Lorca. Sharma is a fever and river, at moments a rhapsody and the gods sing through him even his workshop is messy. Yuyutsu Sharma should be known as The Himalayan Neruda not only for the torrents of images and compassion and outrage in his poetry but for the range of his subjects, themes and imagery. Reading him I feel as I do when reading Neruda that he could make first rate poetry out of anything, as he ranges like a vartic voice of the Himalayas through the natural beauties of Nepal and cities of the world."--Mike Graves, American poet and teacher, City University of New York, author of A Prayer for the Less Violent Offenders "A mini epic of recovered and enlarged memory."--Robert Scotto, Author of Imagined Secrets "There's a brilliance in the mind of the poet whose imagination created this gem of a poem out of the 'crumpled calendar of chaos,' aptly called the Lost Horoscope. I was hypnotically immersed in the structure of steps that each stanza offered, hurling the reader down into memory, into the 'wingless realm of illogical proclamations' and the resultant 'wasteful heap of despair,' while seeking 'solace, sleep, and salvation' to arrive at the epiphany that 'perhaps all those prophesies were true.' Like an Eliot poem, to gain the enlightenment inherent in this poem, you must read the poem again to capture the nuance and metaphysics of the allusions connecting each image, each stanza, to recover the revelatory 'medley of omens' leading to the abyss of 'imminent doom.' One must journey, 'sight fractured,' through the 'moldy world of rickety realities'--typhoid, covid--while 'humming the prayers, drenched in the Monsoon showers of the Himalayan valleys rolling in the world of spirits and sages.' Like the poet, one must risk the life of his creative will to recover and rediscover what healing eternal truths lay, lost and buried in our collective unconscious decades and centuries ago . . . a magnificent sight-healing journey."-- James Ragan, the Emerson Poetry Prize, NEA Fellowship, the Swan Foundation Humanitarian Award Poetry.

Asian & Asian American Studies. ETERNAL SNOW is a testament to the power of words to inspire, encourage, and heal across vastly disparate cultures and distant places. Over one hundred and twenty-five poets from around the world come together in this anthology to explore their interactions, collisions, and intersections with Yuyutsu Sharma, renowned Himalayan poet, journalist, translator, and editor from Kathmandu, Nepal. The book is a clear example of the new world itinerancy of the modern poet, and the global efficacy of poetry, in that Yuyu's world travels have touched the hearts and minds of thousands of people who have heard his readings around the world and read his words in print and online. Not all the contributors are professional poets. ETERNAL SNOW also captures the poetic voices of a hairstylist, a photographer, a Yoga teacher, a priest, a nurse, and a social scientist. In these pages, a young poet in Kathmandu sees her late father in Yuyu's face; a social worker conjures the Goddess of the Children while serving the Bhutanese refugees in California; a New York University professor ponders an Asian challenge: setting her house on fire to become a real poet. The results captured in these poems attest to the literary collisions which occur when global poets meet. ETERNAL SNOW is a singular, remarkable, and moving work of art. Includes poetry by John Clarke, David Ray, James Ragan, Ravi Shankar, Eileen O'Connor, Gorka Lasa, Pascale Petit, Elena Karina Byrne, Chuck Joy, Amarendra Khatua, Ruth Danon, Tim Tomlinson, Verónica Aranda, David Axlerod, Tony Barnstone, Art Good Times, Kim Nuzzo, Robin Mets, Barbara Novack, Hélène Cardona, Irene O' Garden, Agnes Marton, Carolyn Wells, M.
