PODCAST INTERVIEW ALERT: Got a chance to sit down with the host of the Parisian podcast “Poet in Poems” 🇫🇷🎤 who invited me on his show after our performances at the PLU @parislitup Culture-Rapide (@culture_rapide) Open Mic night in Belleville.

We caught up in the historic Black arts cafe “LE SELECT” in Montparnasse about Faith, culture, all things poetry and life since featuring in Paris 11 years ago. Full podcast episode will be streaming on @spotify 🎧💚 Thank you for having me! #poetscholar

Deux nuits à Paris.

Yes, last week Grae J. Wall and I brought our show to The City of Light. On the Road with Beat-punk, Poetry and Blues. An evening of music and poetry that entertains, provokes, and invites you to sing, dance - and join the revolution.

Thanks are due to everyone at The Dissident Club and Paris Lit Up who gave us such an incredible welcome as their featured artists: Alissa Leeds, Quitterie Gounot, Chris Newens, Ursula Wynne and Antonia Alexandra Klimenko

Farewell, Paris, until we meet again.

When I came to Paris to promote the release of my novel, the Anglophone literary community I found there was so kind and supportive. I can’t wait to come back. See you next week!

Today was my last event on my book tour in Europe, and it didn’t disappoint! Thanks for hosting me for a lovely poetry reading @parislitup! It was a great crowd, great atmosphere, and a lovely way to say goodbye to this part of the world.

And yes, once again, I sold out of all of my books. ;)

Thank you for hosting this wonderful conversation @parislitup between myself @psamarasan_writer and @mirakamdar_official navigating what it means to be authors of South Asian origin writing against the grain…
