Nitya Prakash
“I want to be the reason you put 'poetess' in your bio.”
Nitya Prakash

Mia Odeh
“From the time I was sixteen years my husband surrounded me like a putrid fog, permeating every minute of every day and completely blocking the sun from entering my life. When my husband left us behind in Arizona and moved to Michigan for work I began to see him as he really was, nothing more than a small, evil, isolated creature. I made it my goal to keep my children pure, to keep them from ever becoming like their father.”
Mia Odeh, Mia’s Odyssey: Taking Back My Soul
