Tathagat Chaubey

Tathagat is trained as a cultural theorist and sociologist. He writes about everyday things in a strange way. His academic instruction in ethnography and participant observation informs his poetry, which resembles fieldnotes - a constant bearing witness, a Flâneur-like quality perhaps. He has researched and written about identity, urbanism, nostalgia and migration. He has a B A Hons in English literature from Ashoka University and an MSc in Sociology from the London School of Economics and Political Science. He admires A.K. Ramanujan, Nissim Ezekiel, Mary Oliver and T.S. Eliot’s poetry.
