The literary magazine La.Lit is all set to unveil its latest publication, titled Translations from the Margins, this week. The publication, the eighth print volume of the magazine, has been guest edited by author Manjushree Thapa and is a collection of translated poems, essays and stories mostly written and translated by Nepalis who belong to marginalised communities from across the country.

At the launch, La.Lit’s assistant editor Prawin Adhikari will moderate a conversation between poet and photographer Ann Hunkins—who recently completed translating Abiral Bagdachha Indrawati by Ramesh Vikal; writer Muna Gurung, whose translations of poems by Sulochana Manandhar is being published by Titled Axis Press; and essayist and novelist Khagendra Sangroula, whose translation 

of various works of Western thought into Nepali is also slated for publication. The panel will discuss the importance of translation between languages. 

The launch is set to take place on July 14 at the Nepal Tourism Board in the Capital.
