Poet Bio: Born in India, now living in Singapore, Uma Venkatraman is a journalist who would rather write poetry, travel, bake, volunteer for sports events and run, in exactly that order. Her poems have been published online in The Pink Panther Magazine, Indie Scribe Magazine and The Reverie Journal, and in the print anthologies Good Morning Justice and Poetic Trenches.
Author Statement: Writing poems gives me joy. I have been fortunate to be a part of two poetry groups on G+, where I have found encouragement, support, advice and appreciation, which has kept me writing. When a reader says they can relate to my poem, that the words and the emotions connect with them, it feels wonderful.
Like many poets, I would also like to have a collection published some day. Tupelo Press is doing a great job of providing that opportunity to many wonderful writers. Whether or not my dream comes true, I would like to do my bit to make it possible for Tupelo Press to realise someone else's dream. That is why I am taking part in this 30/30 challenge. Your donation will help me achieve that goal. Please donate whatever amount you can -- every little helps. And if you love poetry, consider taking up a subscription which will bring you into the world of diverse, exquisite poetry. You will get books you can enjoy, and you can pass them on to other readers.
It's all about spreading the word! So join me as I take the leap and zip into this whirlwind month!
Your support gives me vital inspiration as I write for thirty days this month.
Tupelo Press provides the canvas, I bring my words, accompanied by other fine poets, writing thirty poems in thirty days, all ours to edit and submit as we wish. 30/30 poems have been taken by over 90 journals and featured in over 40 published chapbooks, all so Tupelo Press can keep publishing exquisite and diverse voices that might never be heard otherwise.
Every dollar gives me confidence to write more, and helps the press place more poems in gorgeous books. Help me to help this distinguished press. Give today!
