Yuyutsu was a shaman in his childhood. He spent time with the Himalayan sages as his father was a devout follower of certain religious holy men who do not stay in one place more than a couple of days. He believes his current wandering poet's path is a result of his association with Naga ascetics. In the workshop, Yuyutsu will read poetry from his recent travel books, Space Cake Amsterdam and Other Poems from Europe and North America and A Blizzard in my Bones: New York Poems, and will discuss the art of writing poems as the poet travels across continents.
Yuyutsu is the recipient of fellowships and grants from The Rockefeller Foundation, Ireland Literature Exchange, Trubar Foundation, Slovenia, The Institute for the Translation of Hebrew Literature and The Foundation for the Production and Translation of Dutch Literature, Yuyutsu RD Sharma is an internationally acclaimed South Asian poet and translator. He has published nine poetry collections.
