A presentation and in-depth interview with SAND 19 contributor Kanika Agrawal about her interdisciplinary poetic practice, which draws on molecular biology, as part of SAND’s Poetic Vision series in spring 2021.

We launched SAND 22 on 28 February 2021 with a live-streamed evening of fiction, poetry, art, translations, and discussions on our YouTube channel.
Work that has appeared in our own pages has been featured in three Best Small Fictions anthologies and shortlisted for several Stack Awards. We also nominate and submit work we have published for various prizes, including the ones just mentioned as well as the annual Pushcart Prize (nominees here), the AKO Caine Prize for African Writing, …
On 11 October 2020, between the coronavirus lockdowns, we held a writing and reading event at Hopscotch Reading Room in collaboration with The Poetry Project.
