About me

Thank you for visiting my blog.

I'm a writer, a poet, a seeker, a wife and a mother. I'm also a lover of nature, an amateur photographer, an intermittent teacher and winner of silver at the IFP Spoken Word 2023.

I live in Doha, Qatar, with my husband and a dozen trees I planted in my patch of green. Our children, now adults, have fled the nest. Nature, feminism, kindness, travels, poetry and politics inspire me to write. So, I do.

My second book was published in 2023. It's called Don't Climb On The Bullock Cart. My first book, And all the seasons in between is  a childhood memoir woven with fantasy. 

Some of my poems and stories  have been published in anthologies and literary journals like 'Mohini' in The Kali Project, 'Jamun Tree' in Kindle Magazine, 'Kingdom of Kitchen' in Tea with a Drop of Honey and 'A Fully Functional Feminist' in Gulmohur Quarterly. My work has also been curated by The Hooghly Review, Poems India and is forthcoming in Muse India and Epistemic Literary Magazine.

Some of my published spoken word pieces are as follows:

• Yesterday is not Alive on Mirchi Scribbled
  
• He Carried Dirt under his Fingernails
• Mohini
• Wibbly Wobbly Belly
• Red Sun, Yellow Sky
  
• Independence Day
  

I also write poems and stories in Hindi. Some of them are available on my YouTube channel:

• Hindi Poetry by Arti Jain on YouTube

I'm currently working on a book of poetry/prose/photographs.

Thank you for stopping by.  I'd love to hear your views about my work.
