When she's not writing you can find her attending live music events and finding the best matcha + thrifting spots. Her hot take is that Charli XCX is more famous than Taylor Swift.

  • Jasmine Kaur

    Hi, this is Jasmine. I am pursuing master's in social work at WSU. I am calligraphy artist, a poetry lover and a dog mom (you'll probably find me watching dog videos in my spare time). My special talent? Adding a Punjabi tadka to Italian and English dishes. Yes, you'll find garam masala in my pasta. I am all about yapping, helping, and making the world a little brighter, one poetry piece at a time. See you on the other side!

‘Tis the Damn Season: It’s NaNoWriMo!

National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo) is a one-way ticket for writers to enter four weeks of self-inflicted madness (or so many authors have said), and write in any spare moment they can. The need for a rush of words leaves little time to overthink, go back or...
