Krisu Chhetri is one of well-known Nepali poets. His recently published book Charaa ko Geet, ‘Song of a Bird’ has been popular among Nepali poetry lovers.
In my view, it is a beautiful collection of
poems, and it has enhanced Krisu Chhetri's power of poetry. The poet has been
advocating about the real situations of people that they face in their day to
day life. In other words, he is a man who strongly advocates truth and reality.
His unique style of writing along with attention to details has never ceased to
amaze me and therefore, reading his writings attracts me to read more. Hence,
readers can remember and relate to what has been written in his poem.
He sees other people’s pain through his own
eyes and I think it is a very important quality for a writer. He has also shown
readers to be optimistic. He also tries to use specific details rather than a
superficial poetic expression. So, readers can remember what the poetry say. He
pays a lot of attention to craft poetry. I think, poetry is more than a mere
entertainment and remains pertinent over time.
‘Charaa
Ko Geet’ has also successfully addressed life and has a
touch of an eternal beauty. In his poem ‘Charaa
Ko Geet’, he has expressed the importance of freedom. He has concluded that
every people and animals in this planet must have a right to freedom and no one
can violate it for their personal gain. This poem not only delivers a strong
message, but also it has delivered the complex message in simple and clear
language.
Krisu is not difficult to read. I think,
when he started writing he had the confidence that his subject will be of
interest to his readers which are not only intellectual but also the ordinary
ones. Krisu had a good bit of life experience and some bad as well. Those
experiences made him a poet. He wants to thank those people who assisted him to
be a poet.
Originally from Jhapa, Chhetri's poems have
enliven the love and life relationship. He has depicted the life of
different people. He is an active member of Basundara Man Pragya Pratisthan
Foundation that promotes literature.
A total number of 42 poems are included in this
collection. Most of the poems from this book draws attention to the very
beautiful feelings of life, emotion and love. Mr. Chhetri has written and
published eight books so far. This book was published by Sajha Prakashan,
Kathmandu.
