The Silence of the World Is a Fishbone

He is the recipient of numerous grants and awards, including a Creative Writing Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, two Individual Artist Grants from the Indiana Arts Commission, an Indo-U.S. Advanced Research Fellowship (for months of research in India), and-most recently-the 2024 Indiana Book Award for Poetry.
