Must-see reading: Bhanu Kapil

Bhanu Kapil is reading at the Mills Contemporary Writers' Series this week. See her Tuesday, October 10 at 5:30 pm in the Mills Hall Living Room. From the press kit:

Bhanu Kapil was born in England in 1968, to Indian parents, and grew up in a working-class, South-Asian community in Greater London. She came to the U.S. in 1990 and currently lives in Boulder, Colorado, where she teaches at Naropa University. A writer forged by this history of migration, and who has come to understand the border as a site of both transformation and loss, her work crosses genre and subject borders in the prose chapbook Autobiography of a Cyborg (Leroy Press, 2000) and a full-length collection of prose/poetry, The Vertical Interrogation of Strangers (Kelsey Street Press, 2001). She has recently completed a long prose work, Humanimal: a project for future children, a creative non-fiction account of the Wolfgirls of Midnapure, two children found living with wolves in 1920s Bengal. Other forthcoming prose works include Incubation: a space for monsters (Leon Works) and Water-Damage: A Map of Three Black Days (Corollary Press).
