Luitor Pora Mississippi (LPM) is the annual literary magazine published by the Asam Sahitya Sabha of North America (ASSNA). Its release traditionally coincides with our annual Assam Convention, held over the July 4th weekend. First published in 1983, LPM has grown into a cherished archive of Assamese literature and culture. Most issues are available at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. — we encourage you to stop by and explore them if you’re in the area.
Articles in the magazine are written in both Assamese and English, with contributions from adults as well as children. It also features children’s artwork, adding a vibrant and creative touch to each edition.
