All Nepalis are poets at heart. How could they not be, living in this terrible contusion of the sublime and the second-rate? So every day is poetry day in Nepal, even if someone, somewhere, deemed 21 March to be World Poetry Day and we feel bad we missed it. We’ll make up for it. To prove the La.Lit team is not averse to verse, we’re running a whole series of poetry-inflected posts in the days to come. To kick it all off, here’s a snippet from our very own Assistant Ed. Nayan P. Sindhuliya, opening for Sarah Kay in Kathmandu last December.
