In addition to Chatterjee, there is of course David Dabydeen, although Guyana and the Caribbean in general play a more important part in his poetry than the fact of his South Asian ancestry. You may also want to take a look at some of the other poets in the anthology of South Asian poetry that Chatterjee edits: The Redbeck Anthology of British South Asian Poetry (2000). Incidentally, the volume was the runner-up in the Raymond Williams publishing prize for 2001. There are brief reviews of the anthology on the following web pages:
