Congratulations @pg_roland! It’s a beautiful, evocative poem and I have to say I was torn between yours and Michael Drummy’s heart rending “Ageless” as my choice! My very best to you and @timothygreen and many thanks!😊🌺

[Patrick G. Roland @pg_roland]

Reading Sarah Magnatta’s article “ TENZING RIGDOL’S BIOGRAPHY OF A THOUGHT: A MANDALA IN THE HEART OF THE MET @WasafiriMag and looking at pictures of this brilliant artist’s magnificent work, bristling with energy, that he is working on for the MET and am absolutely speechless!🔥

[Rupam Baoni @rupambaoni]

And with it dies their culture, history, identity & much more. 😔😔

[Rupam Baoni @rupambaoni]

What a stunning cover of the autumn @WasafiriMag issue! Vibrant mandala-energy that just pulls you in – lifts you up! I can’t wait to scour all the pages! Congratulations to all the team! 😍🌺

[Rupam Baoni @rupambaoni]

It’s great to have my poem “my language was my mother” part of the autumn issue of wasafiri where each article speaks of things that matter in today’s world. I’ve been reeling from the UN permanent forum report stating how one indigenous language dies every two weeks!

⌛ The Queen Mary Wasafiri New Writing Prize closes at 11.59pm BST tonight! ⌛

For anyone who hasn't yet submitted — hurry!

My heart bleeds for all the innocent people killed on both sides of the Indo-Pakistan border today! Can lines divide the pain felt by all who’ve lost their loved ones, whether here or there? Is war the answer? Deeply saddened.

[Rupam Baoni @rupambaoni]
