Anahita Jamali Rad Read Bio Collapse
Anahita Jamali Rad was born in Iran and currently based on the traditional territory of the Anishnaabeg people of the Three Fires Confederacy (Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa). Informed by anti-imperialist materialist theory, Jamali Rad’s work explores silence, absence, and stillness amid ideology, violence, class, collectivity, desire, place, and displacement. They have published two full-length books of poetry, still (Talonbooks 2021) and for love and autonomy (Talonbooks 2016). Jamali Rad is a co-founder of House House Press with David Bradford. Their most recent project concerns the history of binaries in relation to mysticism, nationalism, orientalism, and the technologies that bind them together.
