“This book is a compilation of my experiences and it refrains from following a particular ideology. The poems were written during the last 10 years except for the two about litterateur Sarubhakta. I’ve wondered why he took up his lover’s name as his alias and the poems make evident my curiosity,” said Koyu.
Koyu’s book will be launched by her mother, Laxmi devi Rai. The event starts at around 2 pm and is open to all. Bhav will be available at the Educational Book House from Saturday.
