I’m a part-French Turkish queer poet and fiction writer based in Istanbul. I was a 2018 Poets House Emerging Poets Fellow, and my work appears or is forthcoming in Evergreen Review, DIAGRAM, Cosmonauts Avenue, SUSAN/The Journal, KGB Bar Lit, Prelude, Queen Mob's Teahouse, and nat.brut. I completed my BA in Philosophy at Vassar College, and my MFA in Creative Writing at The New School with the 2017 Citation of Excellence in Poetry. I edit for Brooklyn Poets’ the Bridge, and have called Istanbul, Poughkeepsie, NYC, and Maputo home.
