Notes on Burials

<p><strong>Winner of the 2024 New Poets Prize, judged by Holly Hopkins.</strong></p><p>An archaeological dig, a visit to an imagined London, puppies that come back from the dead. In <em>Notes on Burials</em>, Jayant Kashyap makes a series of journeys: real, mythological and etymological as he navigates what is lost and what is buried. Kashyap’s poems of love and remembrance reach out to collective losses, human and environmental, in a series of disappearing acts and excavations that take us from broken childhood patio to a snowboarder in an avalanche.</p>
