Will Harris (born 1989) is a London-based poet of Chinese Indonesian and British heritage.
[1] In 2019, Harris received a Poetry Fellowship from the Arts Foundation.
[1] RENDANG was described by the London Review of Books as "one of the most hotly-anticipated debut poetry collections of 2020",[3] by The Guardian as "a sharp and assured debut collection that meditates on the multiplicity of identity",[4] and by the Financial Times as "poems that brim with soul and playfulness.
[6][7] Harris's essay Mixed-Race Superman was published in the UK by Peninsula Press and by Melville House in the US.
It was described by The New York Times as "a zany, exuberant and highly original meditation on what it means to come of age as a mixed-race person in a predominantly white world"[8] and by The Times Literary Supplement as "meditat[ing] wisely on this potentially awkward yet not exactly uncommon state of in-betweenness".
