"...As we reached the Etna Gallary to join another Poetry Jam, I could smell what the Sixties, Seventies might have been like. In a hashish-scented hall the poets including the famous Simon Vinkennoog, Eddie Woods, Diana Ozon and Merik van der Torren had gathered along with several dozen poetry lovers to keep the flame of poetry going. On the walls I could spot the paintings of Lord Ganesha, Naga sadhus and plump Budhhas in mysterious Mandalas. There were breaks every half an hour for drinks and when my turn came, I was almost asleep. "Back home in Nepal," I told them, " by this time, I would have slept the first phase of my sleep."
But in reality it felt great to be up in the middle of the night, reading the Annapurna Poems to a fervant audience that patiently listened and later bought your book at 20 euros each, making you sign it with a smile..."
Yuyutsu Ram Dass Sharma, (dichter geboren in Nakodar, Punjab in 1960) in The Kathmandu Post.
