Where are you now?
I reside in Bangalore, India. My room is pretty much my haven.
What are you reading?
I am currently reading Beneath the Sugar Sky by Seanan McGuire and reviewing chapbook manuscripts. The former is for a found poetry challenge, called 'The Poeming,' that I will be undertaking in October 2018.
What have you discovered lately?
Confidence. Lots of it. I am also doing different things and experimenting more in terms of my writing and art.
Where do you write?
I make random drafts on my phone and then set about working on longer pieces sitting up in bed — blanket, throw pillow, and all!
What are you working on?
I run a literary & arts journal called Sonic Boom as well as its affiliated press, Yavanika. My team and I are currently wading through submissions. I also recently set up an online store for selling my art prints and other products, so that's an exciting new avenue to explore. I hope to bring out my debut full-length collection of Japanese short-forms of poetry in 2019.
Have you anything forthcoming?
I recently completed a 31/31 creativity challenge called 'Write Like You're Alive,' hosted by Zoetic Press. One of my erasures is forthcoming in the Write Like You're Alive Anthology 2018. I also have seven pieces forthcoming from h&) I will be guest editing The Haiku Foundation's 'Per Diem' feature for the month of December 2018.
What would you rather be doing?
I am in my happy place. There's nothing else I'd rather be doing.
Recent poems:
old doorways —
the nerve palaces
of midnight
pulling sins out of a dreamer conscience
