Jayant Kashyap: 'Annotations on Microbes'

Hello, I’ve very recently created a podcast on Spotify and elsewhere, called ‘Jayant Kashyap: Poetry’ and post audio recordings of my poems there weekly. Sharing here since you might like it. It’s got two 5-star ratings, and I hope you give it a listen. Thank you! 🤗

"...These are poems that stay with you, prompting you to return and search again for meaning in their careful, deliberate lines."‬

“Notes on Burials sits comfortably alongside the work of Seamus Heaney and Anne Carson.”

Hi! Just wondering: would you join if I organised a poetry writing workshop in the near future? It’ll be titled something cool, like ‘Writing Half a Poem’ or the like! 📝

The team at The Marrow have produced a new issue, which is brilliant—and here’s a look at @rcurzon.bsky.social’s haibun (I think!) dealing with lots of small wings, ‘The Invitation’. Love the kitchen-based wildness in it!

Happy birthday, James! Brilliant piece! Love the use of the word ‘dank’ 🦌

My poem, “Clean,” from DRESSING THE BEAR (@triohousepress.bsky.social) seems to be the most beloved, and I’m grateful for the ways it’s connected me with so many others who have experienced a similar loss. Thanks for this thread, Kelli! 💙

Thank you for saying such beautiful things, Conyer! I love your work, and I’m so glad you like this poem. 😇

I have a poem out in Volume Poetry – Vol 4 Issue 3. The poem is really short, and is called ‘Everybody /’, and here’s an excerpt—

volumepoetry.com 🚉

Photo of a page with a poem called Curlews The poem reads: On a failing clifftop path you halt and hush me, pull out from the ice-flecked air sad and steady minims fluting through a perfect fifth. This is their call. Curlews glissando the headland cluttered by gulls, riding out the crisis on soft thermals of aplomb. Love, let's take some notes.

Their crisis is our crisis

And all I have to respond with is a poem

A few days ago in Madras Courier (which was established in 1785)—

Jayant Kashyap small poem about birds— they did somersaults in mid-air summers ago and landed between trees it looked fucking exhilarating—

Jayant Kashyap https://giantketchup.wordpress.com/; https://poetrybusiness.co.uk/product/notes-on-burials/ Jayant Kashyap is the author of three pamphlets, most recently Notes on Burials (Smith|Doorstop, 2025), and a zine, Water (Skear Zines, 2021). His poems have been published in POETRY (Chicago), Poetry London and Poetry Wales. Note on ‘small poem’: “‘small poem’ was the result of a thought that focussed majorly on how, once, we often saw so many birds gliding around in the air – hundreds of feet above us – and they did all the neat tricks there; these days though I miss sparrows and crows, whose populations I’ve noticed have been declining gradually because of a plethora of reasons – and it’s deeply saddening, if not more.”

The fifth poem in PERVERSE 8A is ‘small poem’ by Jayant Kashyap (@jaydkash.bsky.social). Read all five poems from the first section here: perverse.substack.com/p/perverse-8a

The Sparrowhawk Sits so still on the high electrical wire, later in the pin oak with its beautiful rust-dark streaks on the breast, late light entering the black seep of the eye, for what seems like eternity. Thus can a bird like that be so ignored by all it will devour.
