Indie Press Reading Group with Nisha Ramayya

The Indie Press Reading Group series aims to highlight incredible authors from independent publishers and share our love for indie books. We'll gather to discuss works of fiction, essays and poetry from renowned UK independent publishers and a few notable small presses. In the second group, we'll discuss the poetry collection Fantastia by Nisha Ramayya.
Fantasia hazards a listening walk through seashells, telecommunication networks, and cosmic vibrations, to learn something new about how we sound. Alice Coltrane’s experiments in jazz and spiritual community guide these poems that hum and glitch, that leap across space-time, landing in and reflecting the discordant music of life on earth.
Nisha Ramayya works across poetry, criticism and collaborative performance, and teaches creative writing. She is the author of States of the Body Produced by Love, among other works. Come join us for what we promise will be an evening full of astonishing jazz poetry!
