Five years ago, I was published in POETRY Magazine. Since then, I've been published in lit journals at Oxford and St. Andrews, and in Ireland, Australia, and Italy. Five of my poems appeared in Virginia Quarterly. Narrative. Won two book prizes and published my first collection.

Hi, poets. If you are a poet, let's connect. Please follow me, and I'll follow you too! <3 In addition, if you have a book that came out in the last two years, I would love to support you in any way I can.

My little chapbook is going into a second print—I'm beyond grateful! Thank you to everyone who has embraced these poems about being brown, gorgeous, and alone, living in the American West, and the ache and joy of losing and reclaiming language.

Today, my partner read my short story collection about messy, gross, cool, vibrant, challenging, non-conforming, and rebellious Pakistani young people, and got teary-eyed. “These are the people you wish you knew. The family you wish you had.”

Hello! I'm looking for Autistic and/or neurodivergent individuals or caregivers who would like to review a short story I've completed.
I, too, am neurodivergent.
Just want to get some eyes on this before I try to place it in journals/magazines.

Introduce yourself!
Would love to follow/celebrate all poets and writers.
From SLC, but I consider NYC my 'home.'
Frank Stanford, Paul Celan, Anne Carson, etc.
Poems are bewilderment prayers that explore brutality, loss, and the grotesque.
Searching for boring divinity in the undesirable.

My latest short story ends with a hot Silverlake Pakistani girl with vitiligo and a bunch of stick-and-poke tattoos taking her broken Roomba to a strip club to deal with the loss of both her parents.
I think I'm done writing poetry.
I love fiction.

Is anyone writing a novel this November? I am just trying to keep myself together by wearing thrifted cashmere, drinking cozy drinks, petting my dog, and thinking non-stop about Anora.
