For poet and economist Bhuwan Thapaliya, poetry is not an escape from the rational world of economics, but a way of understanding it.
Bhuwan Thapaliya is a poet and economist based in Kathmandu, author of five poetry collections, including Safa Tempo: Poems New and Selected (2011) and his latest, Slipping into Another World (2025).
His work has appeared in numerous international journals and anthologies, and has been featured in global initiatives such as Stanford University’s Life in Quarantine and the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council’s Poetry and Covid project.
