Amira is currently helping launch an online branch of her university journal, Pelican’s Plume. Her poems (and occasional speculative prose) often explore wonder, empathy, perseverance, and introspective angst. If she’s not embroiled in homework, a book, freelancing, or some creative project, she’s likely staring at a bird.
