Mantra Mukim is a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow (Eutopia-SIF) at CY Cergy Paris Université, France.

In a series of acute formalist encounters, Samuel Beckett’s Lyric Failure examines how ending, exhaustion, and failure manifest in Beckett’s poetry. Working beyond the familiar paradox of failure / going on, failure is shown to be the ground and possibility of Beckett’s poetry, opening to an alternative futurity.
