An anthology of Nepal Bhasa poems entitled ‘SwaSwan Tana Wangu Sarga’ by poet Rajnimila was launched amid a grand function organized by Nepal Bhasa Academy in Kirtipur on Saturday.

Launching the book on the occasion, linguist and literary critic Jyoti Tuladhar hailed the achievements of poet Rajnimila, commending the latter as an outstandingly gifted poet with an incomparable unique poetic talent. Tuladhar also lauded the poet for being highly aware of the social and political injustice within the country.

“Rajnimila is a female poet who has stepped outside the boundary of exploring only emotional terrain into the national and international vortex of events,” Tuladhar, who was the chief guest of the event said.

The Vice Chancellor of Nepal Bhasha Academy, Malla K. Sundar chaired the event and highlighted the personal story behind Rajnimila, the creator, who has been engaged heavily in issues against the exploitation and violation of human rights among the vulnerable communities in Nepal.

Other guests Prof. Sundar Krishna Joshi, dean of the Academy Manik Ratna Shakya and Laxmi Mali also commented on Rajnimila’s poetry while a number of poems from the anthology itself were recited by renowned poet Pratisara and emerging poets Binita Shakya and Bina Nemkul.

During the function, poet Rajnimila spoke candidly about her poetic journey and sources of inspiration which have guided her through these years.
