Daljit Nagra

Daljit Nagra (born 1966) is a British poet whose debut collection, Look We Have Coming to Dover! (based on a Poetry Book Society Pamphlet Choice of the same name) was published by Faber in 2007. Nagra's poems relate to the experience of Indians born in the UK (especially Indian Sikhs), and often employ language that imitates the English spoken by Indian immigrants whose first language is Punjabi, which some have termed "Punglish". He was the first poet in residence at the BBC and has served as chair of the council of the Royal Society of Literature. He is a professor of creative writing at Brunel University London.
