A Few Words about Haiku Poet Leena Prasad
Leena Prasad writes to find comfort in her foibles and her triumphs, to take snapshots of her thoughts and emotions, to explore the beauty and the ugliness of the world, to leave a legacy… and, most of all, to connect by finding resonance with her readers.
Leena will be our featured reader on Sunday before Keynote speaker Victoria Zackheim. Here’s a little bit about her:
Born in India, Leena grew up in Louisiana, lived in San Francisco for 15 years now lives in El Cerrito with her husband and soon-to-be-born daughter! She has a full-time professional career in Computer Science which feeds her intellectual life and has allowed her to live the life she wants. She enjoys writing and art as a way to explore her creative spirit. Leena has written a book on urban art, a neuroscience column, scripts for short films, profiles, blogs, and much more. She likes to explore all genres of writing from facts to fiction to poetry.
Leena says, “We are all poets. We just need to remind ourselves and practice practice practice to fine-tune how we express our poetry.”
CWC members, Leena is interested in:
- Getting together to send out submissions
- Critique groups, and
- Promoting each others’ works
