Time Regime (Gaudy Boy, 2022)
A collection of experiments, mechanical dream logs, epistolaries, and field notes, Time Regime — selected by Dr. Dorothy Wang as the winner of the 2021 Gaudy Boy Poetry Book Prize — assembles an emergent mutant body intent on interrupting neoliberal imperialism's rhythms and expectations. Randhawa’s debut Time Regime traces the lives, ecological contexts, and dreams of multiple beings—rice germ, red ticks, a grandmother’s skin cells, limestone deposits, machine intelligence, shaggy language, “the Poet,” no-self, or the mythological winged cow Surabhi—as they collectively reckon with the demands of nightmare time under regimes of capital and colonialism.
