A protest in Kathmandu, Nepal, with Somnio: The Way We See It

Our book Somnio: The Way We See It was made public in Kathmandu in a street event by a performance artist, Salil Subedi, who is a close friend of Pushpa Raj Acharya.

A mass protest that has killed some 40 people is going on in the plains of Nepal demanding amendments in the newly promulgated constitution. India has cut off the fuel supply to Nepal in an unofficial blockade.

In response to people's suffering in the plains and hills, Salil went to the streets and performed what he called the 'mob art' and occupied the city spaces reading our poetry.

In Nepal, these photos and his comments have been widely shared in social media. In these photos, you can see him at a downtown crossroads or in front of the parked school buses (the schools are closed because of the fuel shortage and the ongoing festivals).

The launch was wonderful!

Thank you for those of you who could make it to the launch of our book Somnio: The Way We See It on Tuesday, July 28, 2015. It was well attended, and I hope everyone had fun with our poetry reading (including Nepali and Japanese translations of some poems), Tiffany's original lithograph displays, Qs & As panel, and a chance to chat with us. We all had a wonderful time and were so happy to see you there!

Thank you with all our hearts!!

Here are some pictures from the event (except for the last one, photo credit: Marcia Bercov).
