Harsheni Maniarasan

Hello there! My name is Harsheni, and I am an Editor at The Poetry Lighthouse.

I hold an undergraduate degree in Philosophy from the University of Leeds and I am currently pursuing a Masters in Creative Writing at the University of Bristol.

Ever since I was young, I have possessed an affinity for literature which has only flourished through time. My literary passions include the genres of poetry, fantasy fiction, classical literature, and contemporary romance (truly, inhaling a emotional rollercoaster of a love story is my self-care!).

My favourite poets include Mahmoud Darwish, Rumi, Mary Oliver and Rabindranath Tagore. Rumi's Gold is easily one of my most beloved collections. Lyric and narrative poetry as well as ghazals are forms of poetry I greatly adore.

My personal hobbies include reading, penning my own poetry, walking in nature and as of late, quite a bit of singing too.

I feel incredibly passionate towards creating and celebrating art, and I very much look forward to reading and editing your works!
