Welcome to my personal website! I am Jahidul Alam, a poet and translator. I’m Jahidul Alam (I write by J Alam), a poet and translator whose work explores themes of identity, migration, race, and the intricate complexities of belonging. Rooted in my experience as a Bangladeshi expatriate in the United States, my poetry navigates personal and political struggles: displacement, colonial legacies, and ecological exploitation.

My ecopoems celebrate the profound interconnectedness between humanity and the environment. I explore the beauty, fragility, and resilience of the natural world, while also confronting the human injustices inflicted upon it. I engage with the poignant realities of the refugee crisis, racial ambivalence, and the politics of migration. Through both my creative work and academic scholarship, I seek to build bridges—offering an evocative, cross-cultural exploration of the human condition

As a translator, I work to bring voices across languages and cultures into meaningful dialogue, expanding the reach of stories that deserve to be heard. My translations complement my poetry by bridging linguistic and cultural gaps, deepening the resonance of shared human experiences.
