Jason Allen-Paisant FRSL is a poet and writer interested in intimacy, memory, and what happens when history presses directly on the body. His work moves between poetry, prose, and philosophy, often asking how we keep living, sensing, and loving in the aftermath of colonial and ecological rupture. His second poetry collection, SELF-PORTRAIT AS OTHELLO, won the Forward Prize for Best Collection and the T. S. Eliot Prize in 2023. He is also the author of ENGAGEMENTS WITH AIMÉ CÉSAIRE, a meditation on the human after empire. A book-length poem, SNOW, is forthcoming with Penguin in 2027. Allen-Paisant is Professor of Critical Theory and Creative Writing at the University of Manchester and is currently a Fellow at Columbia University’s Institute for Ideas and Imagination in Paris.
