I see my world shaking

Yuyutsu Sharma and Stephan Bookas

Yuyutsu Sharma travels the world teaching, reading, writing at a long list of universities. He is a United Nation of poetry with absolute integrity and honesty. The great poets W.H. Auden and William Carlos Williams would applaud him. If the Lord were in the audience or classroom, he would applaud too. — Stanley Moss, Acclaimed American Poet & Editor, Sheep Meadow Press

The ‘blinding snows of the Annapurnas ridge’ inspire a poetry that confronts natural magnificence with exuberant humanity. These vividly coloured, muscular and energetic poems have an atmosphere of freshness, as though the snow itself had rinsed and brightened them…they have the tangy, dust-free odour of language born of lived experience. —Carol Rumens, British poet and columnist The Guardian

Yuyutsu Sharma is one of the finest poets on planet earth. — Sean Thomas Dougherty

One Man Academy. —Nagendra Sharma, The Kathmandu Post

Like “globes of light” along a narrow path through “blind night,” these syncopating couplets offer neither escape nor absolution, but something more tangible for “bleary-eyed wanderers”: company along the way. —Charles Bernstein, the winner of the 2019 Bollingen Prize for American Poetry.
