Bhanu Kapil is a poet, and author of books, including The Vertical Interrogation of Strangers (2001), Incubation: A Space for Monsters (2006), and Ban en Banlieue (2015).

Career

Kapil's first book, The Vertical Interrogation of Strangers, was written in the late 1990s.[1] She has cited Salman Rushdie's 1980 Booker Prize win as a formative experience for her: "...perhaps then, for the first time, I understood that someone like me: could. Could look like me and write.".[2] In early 2015, The Believer held a round-table discussion of her work over the course of three days.[3]

Kapil's work can be difficult to classify, occupying a space between poetry and fiction. 2009's Humanimal: A Project for Future Children took its inspiration from the nonfiction account of Amala and Kamala, two girls found "living with wolves in colonial Bengal."[4] Douglas A. Martin has described Incubation: A Space For Monsters as "a feminist, post-colonial On the Road."[5] Kapil also contributed the introduction to Amina Cain's short story collection I Go To Some Hollow.[6] Her creative work also encompasses performance art and her public readings sometimes blur the line between a traditional reading and performance.[7] Her poetry appeared in a collection edited by Brian Droitcour that was produced as part of the New Museum's 2015 Triennial.[8]

Incubation: A Space for Monsters was a Small Press Distribution best-seller.[9] Ban en Banlieue was named one of Time Out New York's most anticipated books of early 2015.[10]

In March 2020 Kapil was awarded one of eight Windham-Campbell Literature Prizes.[11]

In January 2021, Kapil was awarded the 2020 T.S Eliot Poetry Prize for her book: How to Wash a Heart.[12]
