Author's Bio

Bhuwan Thapaliya was born in Kathmandu, Nepal and is the author of five poetry collections.

His writing is imbued with the art and culture of Nepal that he grew up with. Still, he is eminently qualified as an Oriental and as an Occidental poet, for his poetry truly represents a marriage between the traditions of East and West, and in a way that is immediately appealing and cohesive. He is not just a poet; he is a man with a mission, seeking world peace. He is a prolific poet and is writing his own Everest, but his writing is not only about statistics. It is about spreading the message of global peace, universal solidarity and love.

His poems and articles have been widely published in journals and periodicals such as Kritya, Foundling Review, FOLLY, The Journal of Expressive Writing, Trouvaille Review, Pandemics Literary Journal, Pandemic Magazine, The Poet, Litehouse, Valient Scribe Literary Journal, Strong Verse, Jerry Jazz Musician, Poetry and Covid: A project funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council, University of Plymouth, and Nottingham Trent University, Countercurrents.org, Ponder Savant,  Mindful of Poetry – Page for Africa, asianamericanpoetry.com, Poetseers, International Times, Life in Quarantine: Witnessing Global Pandemic Initiative – a project supported by the Poetic Media Lab and the Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis at Stanford University,  Taj Mahal Review,  Poetry Life and Times, VOICES( Education Project), Longfellow Literary Project, Poets Against the War, Mahmag.org( Magazine of arts and humanities),Inner Visions by Jay,  WordCity Literary Journal, The Sound of Poetry Review, The Kashmir Pulse, Publiknama, Ibex Press Year's Best Magazine, rave utopia, The Camel Saloon, STREET VOICE #5, Merak Magazine,  The Wise Owl Magazine, Killer Nashville Magazine,  The Madras Courier, Lothlorian Poetry Journal, Poetry X Hunger, International Human Rights Art Movement, Chewers by Masticadores, The Somerville Times, Discretionary Love and many others.
