Nanya Jhingran

(she/they)
Nanya Jhingran grew up in Lucknow, India and now lives and writes (as an uninvited guest) on the unceded lands of the Coast Salish peoples in Seattle, WA. They are a PhD Candidate in Literature and Culture at the UW where they study diasporic and transnational feminist creative practices and ask how these practices build relational and imaginative infrastructures for decolonial and anti-colonial ways of living. When they are not writing, reading, cooking for their friends, or walking around the city, they can be found playing with their cat Masala. Their poetry and other writing has been published at The Boiler and Kajal Magazine, and are forthcoming with New Limestone Review, Poetry Northwest, Snail Trail Press, and Honey Literary Mag, among others.

    Sirens wail all night on these streets / blanketed / (as in, humiliated) / by day’s hurried departure.
