“A Bouquet of Rendered Poems of Laxmi Prasad Devkota” is a collection of poems by Laxmi Prasad Devkota translated into english by Padma Devkota.
In the words of the writer, “I translated these poems into English for various reasons. First, rewriting the content of a poem in English helped me to understand it better. Second, I liked some poems so much that I wanted to share these with readers of the anglophone world. Third, I just felt like trying my skill at translation. And, finally, I thought I would be doing my father a service by helping share some his poetic creations. I have not attempted translation of poems that the poet himself has transcreated so superbly. He started the tradition of translating an abundance of Nepali literature into English. I only follow his footsteps a little.”
