About

Prannoy Nambiar is a poet and writer based in Brooklyn. His poems draw on the tensions between his South Asian roots and his Northeastern American upbringing, exploring inheritance, memory, and what it means to belong to more than one world. His work has appeared in Delta Poetry Review, Wildscape Literary Journal, and Indelible Literary and Arts Journal. He is at work on his first collection.

He came to writing essays through teaching and his entrepreneurial pursuits. He began his career as a middle school math teacher in Baltimore, a period that left him permanently preoccupied with how people learn, what they carry with them, and what they're never taught at all. That preoccupation has never left. It shows up in the essays he writes about learning and technology, in his poems, and in the ongoing suspicion that inheritance and invention are, at bottom, the same problem.
