On this site you can find information on my poetry and related activities. As well as a list of my main publications and some biographical information you’ll find information on my Collected Poems which appeared from Shearsman in 2008, and my prose memoir Dreaming Arrival which appeared from them in the same year. There’s an account of the background to my most recent book Visiting Exile. Somewhat related to that, in The Multicultural there is something about my work as a teacher and as editor of the anthology Stories from South Asia, and in another section an account of my work as co-translator.
