A light-dark collage

This is not only evening but also a self-portrait of the poet. The poet has taken his picture himself. He saw his own reflection half light and half dark, like evening.

A light-dark collage

Tin and night are the meeting time, the evening. The evening picture is neither bright like day, nor dark like night. Its color is semi-light, semi-dark, i.e. dim-dim. This short period from two hours, one muhurt (48 minutes) before sunset to Astaunjeel is also interpreted by some as the time until the light pulses of the wrists are visible.

The evening sunsets are even more mesmerizing. At this time, the cattle return to the barn, blowing dust in the village streets. At home, mothers tend to turn on the lights. In this evening's reception, poet Hemprabhas brought a collection of poems, 'Sanjhma Selfie'. He has made the shadow-image of this unique period of time into poetry. 

This is not only the evening but also the self-portrait of the poet. The poet has taken his picture himself. He saw his own reflection half light and half dark, like evening. Moreover, the poet has united evening, life and poetry through the magnificent image of evening. Our lives are not lived entirely in light, nor entirely in darkness. Life is like a collage of light and dark. 

The central story of the poetry collection presented is evening. However, it does not have any specific events or sequences. The poet has strongly raised the things that are visible in the eyes of the common man as a poetic link. Poet Hev Prabhas has not only shown the broad horizon of poetry through these Sanjh-poems, which came in a book-like garland without being printed separately, but has taken himself to a new level of Nepali poetry. 

'Sanjhma Selfie' is divided into five sections - Dusk Color, Dusk Form, Dusk Line, Dusk Shape and Dusk Space. Let's say, a bit of color, form, line, shape and space have made a beautiful combination of the evening. Each section contains 15-15 poems. These sections of the evening are echoes of life itself. The poet stands at a point in the evening and invents color, giving it a specific form. Draws lines of different shapes and shapes them and envisions a space. Selfie is the epitome of that.

What is confirmed from the presented collection is that there is a language in poetry - of the heart, of dreams or of the soul. A poet's heart speaks as a poem. Poetry is the softest and fluid genre in the world. Poetry is something that can be called Sustari-Sustari. Poetry is more introverted than extroverted. We have not recited poetry yet. We have considered it as a means of giving information or news only. Poetry is not thunder, poetry is pulsation. Tenderness is the hallmark of poetry. 

Whether the environment is bright or dark, there is no need to shout. Poetry is not just to add some shrillness to the noise. In each line, the poet Hemprabhas speaks softly like a river in a poem. As the petals of the flowers collide in the gentle waves of the wind, they create a gentle melody. They melt slowly like mountains and chirp slowly like birds. The poet wishes - I can keep speaking slowly. 

This poet sees beauty in solitude. He talks to Chaya. Perfume is found in sweat. They insist that the human heart cannot be made of stone. The poet has a bright plea - I can become a man. The poet is amazed to see a gun in the hands of a young child. He is worried - how will a child with a gun know the rustle of leaves and the sweat of heads, the song of rivers and the hearts of people? 

The poet advocates maximum humanity. He has sung melodious songs of love and nature, shown the ugliness and horror of war. They never hum, they only chime in their hearts. A poet is like a poem. Poetry is like a poet. Therefore, only poetry is included in his poetry. Poet Ramesh Kshitij has written a lot: (Hem's poems) are not like playing out loud, but like a couple making love. It is as if a loved one did it willingly. There are many colors of evening, night, morning etc. used in

poetry. Villages, hills and cities also belong to this geography. Her images are natural. The same thing happens inside Nepal, the same thing happens outside Nepal. The menu of his poetry is not without the upheavals of the national life, but if there is a decent and gentle presentation, he does not burn, but only applies cool ointment to the wounds of time. 

Hemprabhas does not report the passage of time in the name of poetry, he writes mature poetry. The strangeness of his words creates a kind of vibration in the heart of the reader. 'Sanjhma Selfie' is not only a self-portrait, it is also self-love, self-talk or self-communication. His poetic style is easy. Vimbavali has a unique luster. Although the story is the same, the feelings and images are not repeated. They have a graphic effect. Almost like looking at a painting. 

The poetry of Hemprabhas has a special sense and meaning. He is beyond poetic meaning. are beyond the interval. They are beyond the power of the five senses. Rarely does poetry reach the heights of music and painting. However, the quality of his poetry is at that level. His extraordinary images are global rather than local. He is the host of the world language. Therefore, even if these poems are translated into other languages, they can be equally captivating. This high-quality poetry has laid a solid foundation for Hempravas to be known on the world stage.

Hemprabhas, the creator of 'Pahad Boker Pahadtir' (2066), 'Sahar Paseko Manobu' (2070) and 'Geetai Geet Ko Village' (2071), returned to poetry after seven years. It was not possible for a poet like him to get stuck in the boom of the novel. It is a pleasure to see him return with a more nuanced, formulaic and sharp poetic sense and timing. What can be confidently said after reading 'Sanjhma Selfie', Hemprabhas is not only writing poetry, he is also giving life to poetry.
