Mohit Prasad

Wednesday, September 28, 2005

Mohit Prasad teaches Pacific/Postcolonial Literatures and Creative writing at the University of the South Pacific (USP) in Fiji. He has published two volumes of poetry through the Pacific Writing Forum based at USP, Eyes of the Mask (1998) and Eating Mangoes (2000).

His research interests lie in popular culture and he wrote The History of Soccer in Fiji. At present publication of his creative work is on the backburner as he finishes a Phd on Indo-Fijian Diaspora and Popular Culture at the University of Western Sydney.

A new collection, Kissing Rain, is being readied for publication. Two other collections of poems; Jahajin in the Songs of Kipling, and Vijay Singh Chased Chickens on my Fathers Farm are being read towards publication later in 2005. Mohit plays various sports badly, including soccer and golf, and avidly follows Vijay Singh, Liverpool and his local district soccer team, Nadroga, and lives according to their wins and losses.
