The poetry of Bhuwan Thapaliya is the poetry of each and every one of us. Mr. Thapaliya has the uncanny ability to appeal to hearts, minds and souls in such beautiful ways that even the pictures of disillusionment, pain and loss that he paints leave us with a sense of romanticism that is ultimately optimistic. Optimistic because Bhuwan Thapaliya always shows us the answer: love, and freedom from the illusion of separation. His romantic poetry will never be out of date because Bhuwan Thapaliya s natural talent for this form of writing reaches deep inside our hearts, and squeezes them like sponges ... cleansing us of our hardness, our cynicism and our ignorance. If only just for one or two glorious moments, we feel humane ... and at one with our surroundings.
