Tishani Doshi


You might ask who Tishani Doshi is. Well she is a poet and writer of Indian and Welsh background, who grew up in India, and has been educated at Johns Hopkins University.

She has won the Eric Gregory Award in 2001, and the Forward Poetry Prize just last year.

Her current collection of poems, Countries of the Body, which is a journey within itself, uses methaphorical poems. And now she's about to have her work of fiction, The Pleasure Seekers, published sometime soon. She's also working on a biography on Muralitharan, the Sri Lankan cricketer.

Not only is she a writer, but a dancer as well.

Seems this girl has a very bright future ahead of her.
