I am a writer living in Boston.
Hi, I'm Ramya Yandava, a writer living in Boston. I write poetry, fiction, essays, and criticism. My writing has appeared in New Verse Review, The Oxonian Review, SOUVENIR Magazine, Bright Wall/Dark Room, and elsewhere. I studied English and classics at Cornell University, where I graduated summa cum laude and almost joined the circus.
I write a newsletter called Soul-Making, in which I've covered topics such as "bed blossoming," the history of orchid-hunting, and living on the moon.
