Check Out Pratik Magazine
A couple of days ago I received my copy of the new Pratik, a fine, diverse journal of poetry, fiction, and art edited in Nepal by Yuyutsu RD Sharma. Pratik reminds us just how insular too many U.S. literary journals have become. It reminds me of Robert Bly‘s spirited magazine The Fifties (later The Sixties, The Seventies, and The Thousands), though Pratik embraces a wider range of genres.

Three Poets: Watson, Thornlyre, Sharma
I had the pleasure last night of hearing three poets read at Hearthfire Books in Evergreen: Padma Thornlyre and Laura Paul Watson, both of whom live within shouting distance, and Yuyutsu RD Sharma, who came to us from Nepal. Actually, Sharma has been teaching at NYU and is winding up his stay in the U.S. with a series of readings, the last one taking him back to New York. This wandering route is typical of Sharma’s life: he spends half of each year traveling around the planet, reading and teaching, and half in Nepal, hiking in the Himalayas.Read More
