Chasing Unicorns by Roshan B Karki
The importance of writing as a means of communication in a society formerly without it, or where writing has been confined to particular groups, is enormous. It objectifies speech, provides language with a material correlative, and in this material form speech can be transmitted over space and preserved over time. In this book the contributors discuss cultures at different levels of sophistication and literacy and examine the importance of writing on the development of these societies. All the articles except the first were specially written for this book and the extensive introduction unites and synthesizes the material.
Roshan Karki is from a hilly region in Dolakha, Nepal. Since his early years he showed an interest in fiction and poetry and seldom wrote for enjoyment. He began writing passionately after attending Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa. Some of his published work are well accompanied with great poets of times such as Allen Ginsberg, Federica Garcia Lorca, William Blake etc. Chasing Unicorns,Karki's first book, is a collection of poems written during his two years at Loras College. The poems reflect his experiences at Loras College and emotional transition from teenager to the early phase of adulthood.
