Joseph Jude is a writer of Anglo-Indian descent.
They are both a child of migrant parents, and a migrant themselves; as such, their writing can be about moving, it can be about picking up and moving—about time, and objects—about memory.
Much of their poetry comes from this understanding. It can be read in Cordite Poetry Review, in Rabbit Poetry, The Journal of Transnational Literature, as well as in elsewhere.
The anthology, Growing up Indian in Australia (2024), carries their short fiction, which is distributed by Penguin Random House Australia.
They have also performed at the Moving Centre Literary Festival (Prague 2023), and have read on the theme of ‘Place and Displacement’ at ‘Follow the Sun’, a literary festival-meets-conference, hosted by Bath Spa University (2021).
Their first book, Typesetting Loss (2024), a long poem, is available through Falschrum: a Berlin based publisher at the intersection of art, literature and research.
As of 2025, their poetry has been published in translation, having been translated for a Spanish speaking audience as a part of B-L-AM (2025). An exhibition of writers, and artists, in Berlin, Los Angeles, and Mexico.
They live in Berlin, for the moment, where they also work in education, as a guide, at the Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum.
