Who is Jhamak Kumari Ghimire?

Answer 1

30 years young lady from Nepal, who burst onto Nepal's literary scene with several collections of poems, songs, journal entries, stories essays and nobel that showed off her remarkable mastery of language and literature, and insight into the social realities that she writes of. Born with a severe disability that has robbed her of motor control of her arms, slurred her speech, and limited her movement, Jhamak Kumari writes with her foot. Her sensibility is anything but restricted, though. With a skill that rivals that of the best progressive writers of today, she explores hard political, intellectual, feminist and social issues, without shying away from emotional expressions of love, regret, joy and sadness. The intensity of her voice is riveting: while there are, obviously, more stylish, clever poets and writers in Nepal, there may not be anyone for whom the written word carries so much urgency. Here is someone who palpably lives by her words.
