Joseph Jude is a queer writer of Anglo-Indian descent.

They are both a child of migrant parents and a migrant themselves. As such, their writing is, in part, a reflection of this. It is about moving, and about picking up and moving, about time, and objects—about memory.

Much of their poetry comes from this understanding. It is widely published alongside of their short fiction, which has more recently appeared in the anthology Growing Up Indian in Australia (2024).

Their first book, a long poem, was published through Falschrum: a Berlin based publisher at the intersection of art, literature and research.

It is about seeing loss in household objects, about having a locus around which the idea of it can be seen as being geometric, topographical.

Their work also appears in translation as a part of B-L-AM (2025), having been translated for a Spanish speaking audience for an exhibition of between Berlin, Los Angeles, and Mexico.

They live in Berlin presently, where they also work as an educator at the Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum.‍ ‍
