We welcome to the podcast Saras Chari! Saras is a poet, writer, translator and poetry instructor based in Kathmandu, Nepal. He is often found flaunting his T-shirt that says, "Poet, but paid.", and performs with a black scarf around his head, two things that he believes works as an artistic statement. He tries out different experiments with poetry along with his close friends at Kavindrapur, an experimental poetry band he co-founded. He is also a Core Member at Word Warriors, Nepal's leading spoken word poetry collective. Listen in as him and Amanda talk about his incredible journey as a poet and his plans to bring poetry to Nepal in a big way.
