I’m a poet, journalist, and audio producer. I currently produce the daily news podcast The Journal, which is a co-production of The Wall Street Journal and Spotify.

I also review books and interview poets for several publications, and I’m the poetry editor at Kajal Magazine.

I used to work at NPR — where alongside producing for Morning Edition and Up First, I reviewed books for the culture desk and contributed to poetry coverage. Before that, I was at WNYC’s The Takeaway and worked with a number of independent presses.

Originally from India, I studied journalism at Columbia University in New York after graduating from the University of Washington in Seattle.

My work has been featured in the Los Angeles Review of Books, BOMB Magazine, NPR, WNYC, Electric Literature, The Adroit Journal, Filter, Ploughshares, Crosscut, The Juggernaut, The Seattle Globalist, and more. I also have poems in SAND Journal, nether Quarterly, Levee Magazine, The Sentinel Quarterly, Ninth Letter, Cleaver Magazine, and others.
