Ayana is a (mostly) grammatically correct aspiring indie darling from India. She was a runner up for the 2024 Young Romantics Prize. Her work has appeared in Bitter Melon Review, Delhi Poetry Slam, B'K Magazine, and The Rosa, and can be found on Instagram @overayanalysis. When she's not consumed by an almost perfect line, though, you can find her fangirling over her favourite artists, reapplying lip gloss, and appreciating em dashes.
