As described by Tupelo Editor Jaswinder Bolina, Rohan Chhetri's collection navigates "a life and family history lived against a vicious political backdrop in which violence is as commonplace as afternoon tea. His poems deliver an arresting vision of lives overfilled with anguish and sorrow, and yet somehow, in the exquisite craftedness of this work, beauty persists. In all, lost, hurt, or in transit beautiful does exactly what poetry books are meant to do: it alters the mind. And I am forever grateful for it.”

Ilya Kaminsky, author of Deaf Republic and Dancing in Odessa, expressed Rohan Chhetri's Lost, Hurt, or in Transit Beautiful, "This book has pain and it has discovery. It has wonder. It has the spell of a story and the effortlessness of a song."
