他世之花
Flower From Another World — Poetry Collection
Flower From Another World (他世之花) is a visionary debut poetry collection by Sula (苏拉), weaving together mysticism, feminine consciousness, and cosmic imagination. Through luminous and surreal imagery and mythic archetypes — these poems explore the boundaries between self and universe, body and spirit, reality and dream.
Rooted in a deeply intuitive and spiritual sensibility, the collection invites readers into a transformative inner journey — one that dissolves time, reimagines identity, and awakens a profound sense of beauty, love, and transcendence.


香巴拉之光
Light of Shambhala — Poetry Collection
Light of Shambhala (香巴拉之光) is a visionary and spiritually charged poetry collection by Sula, exploring the luminous path between illusion and awakening. Drawing on mythologies, deities, and sacred geographies—from Saraswati to star gates, black holes, Kalachakra, and ancient civilizations—the poems move fluidly between inner and cosmic landscapes. At its heart, the collection is a journey toward Shambhala—not merely a hidden realm, but a state of heightened awareness where love, destruction, beauty, and emptiness dissolve into one.
Through fierce feminine voices, mystical imagery, and philosophical depth, Sula reimagines existence as a dance of light and void. Blending Eastern spirituality with surreal, modern poetics, Light of Shambhala invites readers to surrender the self, transcend duality, and encounter the radiant mystery at the core of being.


History in a Pebble
by Ashi Sonam Choden Dorji
I am currently translating a luminous collection of poetry by Ashi Sonam Choden Dorji, the youngest sister of the Queen Mothers of Bhutan — adorned with her own paintings, these poems trace the extraordinary in the everyday, weaving together personal memory, nature, and the quiet pulse of a nation.
"These are hugely powerful poems about events of everyday life, adorned by her paintings, which stimulate our senses for their beauty."
Her Majesty The Queen Mother Gyalyum Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck
"Reading Ashi Sonam Choden Dorji's poems is like taking a journey into the poetic heart of Bhutan. This book will set the benchmark and be an inspiration for future generations of poets and writers."
Lyonchhen Tshering Tobgay, The Prime Minister of Bhutan
