Read Humanimal by Bhanu Kapil.
Bhanu Kapil was born in England in 1968, to Punjabi parents. Her mother now lives in India. Bhanu lives in Colorado, in the United States, where she is an Assistant Professor at Naropa University, a liberal arts college founded by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche thirty years ago. She teaches poetry, prose and cross-genre writing within Naropa's Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, which was started (a kind of fire) by Allen Ginsberg and Anne Waldman. Bhanu also teaches writing in the graduate school of Goddard College, in Vermont. She has given readings throughout the United States, and is the author of three full-length collections which, for some readers, function as prose, and for others as poetry: The Vertical Interrogation of Strangers (Kelsey Street Press), Incubation: a space for monsters (Leon Works), and Humanimal [a project for future children] (Kelsey Street Press). Forthcoming is a cross-genre project, Schizophrene, a lyrical research document of the intersection of mental health, racism and domestic violence in Indian diasporic communities in north-west London, with the proviso that such enclaves have already mutated twelve or seventeen times.
