Author Archives: Reena Kapoor

Reena Kapoor, a techie-turned-writer, grew up all over India as an “army brat.” That wandering sensibility is reflected in her debut poetry collection Arrivals & Departures: Journeys in Poems. For over a decade, Reena has been a Citizen Historian with The 1947 Partition Archive collecting oral histories from witnesses of India’s Partition. Reena’s poetry and fiction has been published in The Bluebird Word, Potato Soup, Ariel Chart, 433 Magazine, Literary Yard, Academy of the Heart & Mind, Tiny Seed, Visible, and India Currents. Four plays by Reena were produced by EnActe Arts in 2021.
