Poetry
My poetry of compacted echoes and memory-riven lyric selves is collected in two chapbooks: Desire for Tears (Earthbound Press, 2023) and Every Cruel Thing (Monitor Books, 2021).
Read ‘Feeling Real’ and ‘I Miss Myself / Shared Oranges’ at Granta; ‘Less Than’ at The Opiate; Statement on what poetry can do at Tank Magazine.
Journalism
Writings published among other places in Tribune, Jacobin, Radical Philosophy, and PN Review focused on politics and poetry; and ideas of radical democracy.
Read The Language of Lenin and a review of Jackie Wang at Tribune.
Criticism
I pursued my interest in close reading and philology in the book Complex Crosses (Contraband, 2014), a centuries-spanning sequence of short critical readings which is also a secret history of poetry’s language.
I have delivered academic seminars and invited talks on the relationships between race, language, capitalism and poetry. Read my article ‘Race, Philology, Capitalism: Nisha Ramayya, Nat Raha, and Daljit Nagra’s Ramayana’ at Journal of British and Irish Poetry.
