Rushika Wick's Infections of Loss is a searing exploration of how the past imprints itself on the body, weaving threads of harm and resilience through time and space.
Rushika Wick's first poetry collection Afterlife As Trash (Verve 2021) was highly commended in the Forward prizes and concerns selfhood and value in late stage capitalism. She runs sunseekers poetry project with Ana Seferovic - curating multidisciplinary and cross-modal events and an online archive and has collaborated with dancers, produced ekphrastic work for the National Gallery and creates visual poem objects and films. Her second book Horse (Broken Sleep 2024) is a hybrid work on speculative archives.
