Winner of the 2024 New Poets Prize, judged by Holly Hopkins.
An archaeological dig, a visit to an imagined London, puppies that come back from the dead. In Notes on Burials, 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.

Jayant Kashyap is an Indian poet and author of two previous pamphlets, Unaccomplished Cities (Ghost City Press, 2020) and Survival (Clare Songbirds, 2019), and a zine, Water (Skear Zines, 2021). Kashyap won the Young Poets Competition at the Wells Festival of Literature in 2021, and was awarded a Toto Award for Creative Writing in 2025. Kashyap's poems have featured in POETRY, Denver Quarterly, Poetry London, Magma, Arc Poetry Magazine, Poetry Northwest, Plumwood Mountain, and Poetry Wales, been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and twice for the Best of the Net anthology. Kashyap presented at COP26, the United Nations Climate Conference 2021.
