I am so thrilled to share that my first full length manuscript WEST PORTAL was chosen for the 2020 Agha Shahid Ali Prize in Poetry through The University of Utah Press. I am immensely grateful to judge Gabrielle Calvocoressi, you can learn more about their wonderful poetry and other work here. The prize is named after the beloved poet and teacher Agha Shahid Ali; here is a page with some of his poems and his biography. Look out for the book sometime in the late spring of 2021!
