NISHTA MEHRA was raised among a tight-knit network of Indian immigrants in Memphis, Tennessee. As a result, she has very strong opinions about both hot tea and pork barbecue, and she is a damn fine cook. She holds a B.A. in Religious Studies from Rice University and an M.F.A in Creative Writing from the University of Arizona. She is the author of two essay collections–The Pomegranate King and Brown White Black–and currently at work on a third. In her writing, Mehra explores with honesty and curiosity her experiences as a queer woman, first-generation American, adoptive parent, and human of conscience on this fragile planet.
