ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Will Harris is a poet, essayist and editor of Chinese Indonesian and British heritage, born and brought up in London. Published in the Bloodaxe anthology Ten: Poets of the New Generation, he is also an alumnus of The Complete Works. His pamphlet All this is implied (2017) won the London Review Bookshop’s Pamphlet of the Year, and in 2020, his debut poetry collection RENDANG won the Forward Prize for Best First Collection. His writing explores mixed-heritage identity and cultural memory. Of poetry, he writes: ‘I imagine poems arising not out of an effort to describe the world but to communicate with a person. Rather than asserting control over an object – the imperial fantasy of ownership through naming – poems express a relationship between subjects.’ Harris teaches at The Poetry School and his second collection, Brother Poem, will be published in 2023.
