Arpit's debut poetry pamphlet
February 2020
Published by the award-winning publisher, Broken Sleep Books, this is a collection of poems about Arpit's time growing up in India – the people, places, experiences that mattered then – refracted through the 15+ years he has spent in the UK.
"This is a very promising debut, entrancing in its pungent detail, which is put to the service of straightforward and movingly tender poems" – Jacob Polley
