A collection of poems written by RPP senior vice-chairman and writer Rabindra Mishra while he was in police custody for 50 days, titled 'Mathiko Aadesh Chha', has been made public. Gen-G Yuva and Kavi Mishra jointly launched the book at a program organized at Pragya Pratishthan in Kathmandu on Saturday.
‘In Nepal, memoirs have been written, diaries have been written, novels may have been written while in detention, but I have not known that poetry was written like this,’ said writer Mishra. ‘I guess this book is a new experiment in the context of Nepal.’ Therefore, he says that this collection of poems has a special meaning in his life. He says that he has made public the poems he wrote during his detention, putting aside another collection of poems he had prepared earlier. Mishra said that the poems collected in ‘There is an order from above’ are children born from the forced contact with detention. ‘These poems are the voices, passions and cries of the ‘I’ of detention,’ he said. At the event, Rabindra Mishra also recited some poems including ‘There is an order from above’ and ‘I have committed a crime against the state.’
Mishra wrote 35 poems while in detention for 50 days. He has collected those poems in this collection. ‘It is normal for a poetic thought to come to mind, but it is unusual for that thought to be expressed in the form of a poem. During my detention, poetic thoughts constantly came to my mind and I was able to transform them into poetry,’ he said about the poem.
This is Mishra’s second collection of poems. His first collection of poems, ‘Rabindra Mishra’s Poems’, was published in 2071.
‘Rabindra Mishra is not writing poetry to be a poet, he has come in the form of a poet to write poetry. Not a poet, but poetry has written poetry,’ comments Madan Puraskar-winning poet and lyricist Nawaraj Lamsal, who studied the manuscript of the collection of poems, ‘It has a strong and unbroken poetic flow over subtle narratives. The poet’s attraction towards spirituality has also been beautifully, strongly and deeply revealed in this collection.’
‘Rabindra Mishra, the poet of this collection, is complete without the image of journalism, philanthropy or politics. Padma Shri Sahitya Award-winning poet Nawaraj Parajuli believes that this collection of poems is enough to firmly establish Mishra on the path of poetry. ‘Rabindra Mishra seems honest throughout the path that poetry takes when feelings are put into words. Honesty has blossomed into beauty in his poems,’ Parajuli has written.
The collection of poems has been published by Fineprint.
