Discription:

Here is a noteworthy anthology that explores a new realm of uniquely individual land, language, people, and place, highlighting a lesser-known heritage of cultural configurations. Nature and soil, communities and locations, deprivations and denials are its prominent features. These politically charged poems are sharp and ironic, deeply rooted in their time and place. The Nepali language has yet to receive its fair share of recognition and appreciation. This anthology addresses that deprivation. The translations are vibrant, clear, and highly accessible. Indian poetry in various regional languages can best reach new audiences through such translations. Here is a valuable anthology that makes a significant contribution to the evolving Indian literary landscape.
