The current poetry group has organized a special program on the occasion of International Workers' Day under the title 'Labor, Shramik Special Poetry Recitation'.
In a program held at the Eurasian School in Mandikhatar, Kathmandu, 12 contemporary poets of Nepal presented poems highlighting the life, struggle and dignity of workers. Through
poetry, this program paid tribute to the working class, with a sensitive depiction of social inequality, economic hardship and the silent tolerance and struggle of ordinary workers. The
program was opened by poet Biswa Sigdel with a recitation of his poem 'Jus Pashama', a subtle depiction of the silent endurance and economic exploitation of a young man working in a juice shop. The poet Chandra Bahadur Lama's poem 'Shram Diwasma' vividly depicted the life of the laborers and conveyed the deep emotional message of the Labor Day.
Poet Sanjay Suman's poem 'Sweat' used sweat as a precious symbol of labor and patience. Poet Rami Priya (Rami Shrestha) exposed the mental and social barriers faced by the working class through 'Manis and Walls'. Poet Tirtharaj Bhattarai's poem 'Gitti Kutne Ammi Chachan' presented a compassionate call for change and the pain of a mother who makes a living by crushing gravel.
Poet Dilkumari Dangol's poem 'White Apron' highlighted the sensitive struggles of women working in service and health professions. Poet Navraj Ghimire's poem 'Bhuimmanche' told the story of the often neglected but very strong workers at the back of the society. Poet Dhir Kumar Shrestha's 'Garib Das Ko Katha' expressed the story of a servant's silent suffering and loyalty in simple language. Poet Suresh Gaonule's poem 'Ae Bhariya Dai' highlighted the physical and emotional pain of heavy lifting labourers. Poet Keshav Silwal's poem 'Jhoto Uta Butulai Eyta Mhaila' showed the suffering of women living in the discrimination of caste, class and gender. Poet Abhay Shrestha while reciting the poem 'Sacred Temple of Sukunara' presented the body of the worker as a sacred temple of labour. Similarly, poet Ishwar Thokar presented a poem titled 'Your Name'. The
program made a strong effort to bring to light not only literature, but also the dignity of labor and the life stories of workers. current This initiative of the poetry group has been praised for giving space to such voices. It has confirmed that poetry can be a means of social justice, sympathy, and awareness.
