Rishika Pandit

Rishika Pandit (she/her) is a poet based in London, currently pursuing her MA in Poetic Practice. She often writes about themes of belonging, immigration and the ecotones between natural and urban spaces. She is from the small town of Vadodara, Gujarat which is often a backdrop in her writing. She loves all media with a questionable female protagonist and often looks towards poets such as Eileen Myles, Frank O’Hara, Nisha Ramayya and @girlonmachine on Instagram for inspiration. Public transport, collecting random things and eavesdropping on conversations are regular parts of her practice. She can speak English, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali and a little bit of Swedish and is perpetually trying to find herself in words. This is her first poetry publication, although her creative non-fiction has been published in Spellbinder Literary Magazine before.
