Eliot Prize and was a Poetry Book Society selection. Kapil was born in England to Indian parents, earned a BA from Loughborough University and an MA in English Literature from SUNY Brockport. A Fellow of Churchill College (University of Cambridge), Kapil was elected in 2022 as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. Other recognitions include a Windham-Campbell Prize from Yale University and a Cholmondeley Award from the Society of Authors (UK). For twenty years, Kapil taught seminars on performance, contemplative practice, poetry, anti-memoir, and hybrid forms at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. According to the poet Jenny Zhang, ‘Bhanu has a way of speaking to those of us who move through life feeling at once alien and recognizable, she speaks to us—the cyborgs, the aliens, the displaced, the feral, the untamed.’view less
