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. 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. 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.
