Bio
I am Deepa Bohara from Surkhet- a mid-western part of Nepal. I’ve been living with a chronic illness called Lupus for 9 years now. In all that time, I’ve discovered Spoken Word poetry, been one of the winners of Slamming in Surkhet in 2013.

The Poetics of Protest
I've always thought of poetry as an artform that verbalizes my feelings. Protest has had little to do with it. I thought I had never been able to tackle the political with my extremely personal poems, because I’ve never been able to write about the country or the system. When I applied to the ‘Poetics of Protest’ workshop run by poet and editor Itisha Giri last month, I thought we were going to write poems about our nationality and our politicians.
