Anindita Basu Sempere

Anindita is a writer, educator, book addict, geek, and occasional dog rescuer. Formerly: VCFA, BU Poetry, MIT Media Lab, and Wellesley.


I'm Anindita. I'm a doctoral candidate at the University of Neuchâtel's Institute of English Studies where I study place and poetics in twentieth century American literature and teach undergraduate creative writing.

Currently I'm working on Mapping Bishop, a digital humanities project that is now in public beta. In this project, I am pulling together material from multiple sources to create a single map and timeline of Elizabeth Bishop's travel and writing during the early 1950s.

In 2016 I co-created and launched Summer of Darkness, an iPhone/iPad app that tells the story of Byron and the Shelleys in Switzerland, when Mary Shelley began to write Frankenstein. The app is a digital humanities project that performs an archive of material in "real" time 200 years later.

I'm also a young adult writer who's represented by Caryn Wiseman of Andrea Brown Literary Agency.
