Kathmandu, Dec 17

A group of writers and academics based in Nepal, USA and Canada have called for poems in the English language from Nepali poets based anywhere in the world for a collection that will potentially serve as a ‘reference book’ of Nepali English poetry. According to a notice delivered to The Gorkha Times, both established and emerging poets can submit their works, published or fresh. For those submitting published works, it is mandatory to prove that they retain the copyright with them. The notice further says, the poems can be on any subject, as long as they are not “racist, misogynist, homophobic, and otherwise inappropriate.” The poems, at least five in number from each poet, should reach the editors by the midnight of 28 February 2021 via their email address: submission.anthologypoetry@gmail.com

Guidelines issued by the editors:

• Submissions are open to both established and emerging poets.
