Suman Pokhrel
“ But I want to write poetry of an age dancing in the tunes of ruptures that is full of life. ”
― Suman Pokhrel

“ Writing poetry is a passion, ignited by thoughts, fueled by ink. A way to travel through another mind, where souvenirs of tears are tucked away inside your soul. Or leave you with smiles for miles, depending on which route you go. ”
― Renee Dixon
