Hari Alluri's poems build from comic books, television, paintings, folklore, music, and a unique imagination. Following an immigrant point of view while maintaining home in a language that engages with blood and chosen family, Alluri offers multiple lived and ancestral spaces in India, the Philippines, Nigeria, the U.S., and Canada. Guided by a burning attention - to braids of displacement, loss, and joy, to multiple beginnings - Alluri creates moments where we can expand through the personhood of perception into wider, overlapping worlds of perspective and possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHari Alluri\u003c\/b\u003e (he\/him\/siya) is an uninvited migrant poet of Philippine and South Indian descent living, writing, and working on unceded Coast Salish territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh peoples, and Ts'uubaa-asatx lands of Hul'q'umi'num-speaking peoples.
