An amalgam of a left-brained ex-engineer and a right-brained creative writer would be the best way to describe a lyrical storyteller like me. Originally from India by way of Bahrain, I am now a New Jersey-based poet, and a 2016 MFA in Poetry graduate from Drew University. At present, I am Poetry Editor for The Wild Word, and was prior to this Editor-in-Chief for Jaggery Lit, and a Senior Editor for the Woman Inc. My latest collection of poetry, A Mouthful of Sky was released in April 2022 by Get Fresh Books LLC. My work has appeared in many literary journals and anthologies, and I am a 2023 alumna of the Kenyon Writers’ Workshop. In my spare time, I love spending time with my family - which includes my dog, walks, music, books and mindfulness meditation. In addition to writing, I hope to devote my time, energy and skills to causes that could benefit from my experience.
