BIO: Jhani/J F K Randhawa (they/them) is a Kenyan-Punjabi/Anglo-American counterdisciplinary maker, collaborator, and editor. Their work is interested in precarity, queer ecology, diaspora and migration, spiritual activism, and fugue states. Jhani is the recipient of a Yasmin Fellowship from Millay Arts, and was named a 2021 finalist for the PEN American Emerging Voices Fellowship. Jhani has taken residence and refuge at the Wormfarm Institute, Upaya Zen Center, Green Gulch Farm Zen Center, and Writers House Pittsburgh. Their first full-length poetry collection TIME REGIME was selected by Dr. Dorothy Wang (Thinking Its Presence: Form, Race, and Subjectivity in Contemporary Asian American Poetry, Stanford University Press) as the 2021 Gaudy Boy Poetry Book Prize winner. Jhani also corresponds with ghat ghat, an ongoing performative embodiment navigating time, its dismantling, and the feral. Presently, they co-head the experimental arts journal rivulet with Teo Rivera-Dundas.
