The Yakthung Village is a heartfelt poetic offering—an ode to land, language, and life. More than a place, Yakthung is a living memory, a cultural soulscape of the Limbu people, where every tree, stone, and ritual carry the weight of ancestral wisdom and the warmth of home. This evocative collection is a tapestry of voices: some rooted in Indigenous traditions and Limbu folklore, others blooming with romance, wild with nature, or gently lit by moments of personal reflection. Each poem is an act of remembering—of holding space for both joy and sorrow, silence and song.
Sanjay Sawaden Subba writes with a voice both tender and fierce, capturing the pulse of the forests, the hush of rivers, the ache of love, and the longing that arises from distance be it from one’s people, land, or inner self. His poems honour the sacred bond between the Limbu and nature, while also echoing universal human emotions. Step into The Yakthung Village a realm where the past breathes through the present, where love unfolds in unexpected forms, and where poetry becomes a path back to the self, the soil, and the spirit.
