Daljit Nagra writes British poetry about migration, language, family and the performance of cultural identity. Look We Have Coming to Dover! plays with English, Punjabi-inflected speech and literary tradition to examine British Asian experience, while Tippoo Sultan's Incredible White-Man-Eating Tiger Toy-Machine!!! moves between colonial history and contemporary voices. British Museum revisits national history and inherited culture through a similarly playful linguistic lens. Nagra's poetry is energetic, comic and formally inventive, often shifting register, accent and literary reference within a single poem. His work fits contemporary British poetry, British Asian writing, migration literature and postcolonial poetry. Read more Less
