- Book Synopsis
- Originally published in America in 2006, and out of print for the last seven years, Incubation: a space for monsters is a formally innovative, hybrid-genre book that incorporates poetry and prose. Set in a shifting narrative environment, where human bodies, characters, and text are neither one thing nor another, this fragmentary-diaristic text journeys through the spaces in-between. Following protagonist Laloo-Cyborg, girl, mother, child, immigrant, settler-on a roadtrip through American landscapes, genre styles, and form, Incubation creates radical space for what is 'monstrous'. In this document there is a celebration in the cobbling together of lives; global in scope, with an intimate focus on interior voice, this landmark text evidences the early innovations and talents of this T.S. Eliot prizewinning author.
- About The Author
- Bhanu Kapil is the author of several full-length collections, most recently How To Wash A Heart (Liverpool University Press), which won the T.S. 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.'
