This collection brings together poets who trace their roots to Nepal while living, writing, and dreaming in the diaspora. It evokes cultural memory and reimagined belonging in the in-between conditions of diasporic lives. Melding global literary currents with Nepali cultural threads, the poems herein explore themes of home, nostalgia, exile, and identity in a range of forms--free verse, sonnets, ghazals, lyrical meditations, and ekphrasis. They provide a testament to the power of poetry to transcend borders.
