Anil Pradhan

Poet, India

Anil Pradhan (he/him/his) is a PhD candidate and UGC Senior Research Fellow at the Department of English, Jadavpur University, Kolkata; and his research focuses on the intersectional politics of sexuality, home, traversal, and memory in the context of contemporary Indian queer diasporic and immigrant literatures and cultures. Complementarily, through his poems, he has been able to share how finding home and coming to terms with and celebrating one’s queerness can often be synonymous. This intimate context also been reflected in his first book of poems titled Fleeting Oddments (Writers Workshop 2020).
