Description
Azad Ashim Sharma's Ergastulum is an experimental collection that defies easy categorisation. It brings together fragments of poetry, essays, diary entries, and dream sequences in a hybrid form that blurs the lines between genre and style. Written during the pandemic as part of a reading practice, Ergastulum reflects on the longing for collective duration, meaningful social change, and embodied connection in an increasingly digital world. The book is an auto-theory, a lyric amalgam that explores the desire lines of otherness and offers a prayer against the deracination of time by capital. Through its unique blend of form and content, Ergastulum invites readers to consider the thresholds between self and other, and the ways in which we can reclaim our bodies and minds from the atomising effects of technology.
