Roaring Recitals
Five Nepali Poets Translated from the Nepali
by Yuyutsu RD Sharma
ISBN81-85693-95-1 1999 Hardcover pp.99
Rs.150 Indian
Roaring Recitals is a stunning anthology revealing the range and power of contemporary Nepalese imagination.

Translated into English for the first time by well-known poet Yuyutsu R.D, active in Nepal’s literary life for last two decades, this is a ground-breaking volume of solemn rage displaying richness and diversity of Nepali poetry.
Since politics has always played a decisive role in every field of Nepal, including literature, Yuyustu R.D. translated a selection of five major Nepali poets who have in some way or the other shattered ugly castles of orthodoxy and autocracy to usher modernism in the life and literature Nepali. For it’s Gopal Prasad Rimal who liberated Nepali literature from the shackles of traditional Sanskrit usage and meter and initiated a tradition of prose poems, employing native symbols and folklore, to voice the agony of Nepalese people suffering at the hands of Rana oligarchy.
 Following footsteps of Rimal, we find Bhupi Sherchan, Banira Giri, Shailendra Sakar and Bimal Nibha raise their voice against the despotic partyless Panchayat regime. Here Bhupi Sherchan evokes the geopolitical compulsion of Nepal to remain a non-entity and raises delicate questions of nationalism, sovereignty and a liberated prosperous Nepal, Banira employs man-woman relations to clean the vicious webs of despots and “missile makers,” Sakar discovers the anguish of discarded communities to restore the dignity of the poet from the clutches of Establishment and Nibha flings stones of fury at “soft-nailed civilians”, the Panchayat demons, to dramatise the interplay of “tears and blood.”
Roaring Recitals is a dazzling treasure that shall interest those readers worldwide who are curious to acquaint themselves with a secret flame of vitality, a creative turbulence that has remained at the center of modern Nepal’s creative life.

After Tagore-- by David Ray- New Book share

Tagore: Poems Inspired by Rabindranath Tagore

by David Ray
After Tagore is a vibrant volume by one of the most powerful living American poets. Here, in his twenty-second book, Ray conjures the magic of his master Tagore and brings alive the forgotten fragrances of the Indian landscape for his readers worldwide. Ray explores, elaborates, transposes and engages his own thoughts in dialogue with those of Tagore to celebrate the elemental simplicity of human endeavors. Poet and editor Yuyutsu RD Sharma writes: “Ray’s Tagore poems take us to a larger tradition and Tagore turns out to be a vital door.”
David Ray has published more than 20 books. Following the release of "When," Ray's latest poetry collection, African novelist Chinua Achebe hailed him as "among the best half-dozen poets in the English language today." Ray's 2004 collection, "The Death of Sardanapalus and Other Poems of theIraq Wars," was praised by literary critic F.D. Reeve as "the skilled work of a craftsman whose poems cry out against the barbarism of war and the stupid cruelties of those who make it." In the 1960s, Ray was one of the founders of American Writers Against the Vietnam War and co-edited, with Robert Bly, "APoetry Reading Against the Vietnam War." Ray has received numerous literary awards, and he has taught in the United States, India, Australia and New Zealand.

New Nirala Books available-- Folk Tales of Sherpa and Yeti

Folk Tales of Sherpa and Yeti
Collected by Shiva Dhakal
Adapted by Yuyutsu RD Sharma
ISBN 81-8250-002-0 2009 Paper pp.125 Rs. 195

Folk Tales of Sherpa and Yeti reveals the drama of primitive human mind enacted on Himal’s glacial heights. The book is the result of Shiva Dhakal’s trek to Rolwaling and Khumbu. Creatively exploring the intricacy of human relationships, Shiva Dhakal offers a dazzling diadem of twelve folk tales. Employing his master skill of story telling, unlike fashionable folklorists, Mr. Dhakal evokes the elemental events that determine the working of a primitive psyche. The incidents of raping of an innocent girl by the man-eater Yeti, of the seduction of an intimate friend’s wife, the tempting of an incarnate Lama by a young Sherpa maiden, the Strategy of annihilating Yetis of the world, the birth of mountains out of guilty lovers, and the duel between the wind and the fog reveal the basic working pattern of a primitive mind. To read the Folktales of Sherpa and Yeti is to know the hidden hunger of much misunderstood and glamorized Sherpa mind.

…The book is an excellent contribution to the Sherpa culture and Ethnology. Dhakal deserves congratulations on his arduous undertaking involving mountain trekking and his successful recapitulation of these tales in a very simple and clear-cut style…
