Forthcoming Debut Poetry Collection: We've Been Here Before

In the spaces between dreams and reality,
the strange and the familiar intersect. As if
walking into different pockets of existence,
each poem is a world of its own, but with
beings who experience joy and pain the same
ways we do. Suddenly, there is this undeniable
sense—of being able to cross the liquid
boundary between the self and the Other.

I am pleased to announce that my debut poetry collection, "We've Been Here Before", is forthcoming with Aqueduct Press. My book is a collection of poems I've written in the last 15 years, exploring themes of identity, transformation, and oppression in the eyes of a woman navigating her male-dominated family and society. Borrowing the voice of objects, animals, insects, and even robots, each poem tackles a salient experience of the silently oppressed.

Estimated launch date: February 2022
