Maya Chowdhry
...was born in Edinburgh and grew up on the Fife coast; basking on barnacled rocks in an orange swimsuit, the February wind chilling her skin to goosebumps. She journeyed the kala pani; circling to Scottish shores, her poetry manuscript below layers in her mum’s attic. She (w)rights poetry, plays & digital poetry. Her poetry has travelled via film, audio, web and past fingers on pages; always discovering, always uncovering.

She has worked extensively with young people revealing and disseminating their voices; from the Woolwich Ferry, to an outdoor bed installation: Sphere : dreamz, to the world-wide-web.
