KATHMANDU, Feb. 20: An interaction programme on the newly published anthology of poems?'Gulafko Ashtrayma Mrityu' (Death in a Rose Ashtray) by poet and playwright Gopi Sapkota was held recently under the aegis of Nirjhar Bangmaya Pratisthan.
Prof. Dr. Durga Prasad Bhandari, the chief guest of the programme, said that Sapkota's poems were infused with the poetic energy and they expressed the absurdities of life. He further noted that Sapkota had artistically weaved the theme of love and beauty with that of death.
Prominent poet and dramatist Ashesh Malla said that Sapkota's poems reflected nature and life. He said that poetry was a matter to be felt and not explained.
The author shed light on the theme and the process of his writing. He said that the 'Death in a Rose Ashtray,' the title poem, centred on the absurdities of life and unavoidable presence of death.
Poets Rameshor Raut Matridas and Amar Neupane, essayist Yuwaraj Nayaghare and writers Khem Aryal and Indra Kumar Shrestha commented on various aspects of the book. The Death in a Rose Ashtray is the fifth work by Gopi Sapkota.
