Shankar Narayan explores identity, power, mythology, and technology in a world where the body is flung across borders yet possesses unrivaled power to transcend them. In Seattle, he awakens to the wonders of Cascadia every day, but his heart yearns east to his other hometown, Delhi. His chapbook, Postcards from the New World, won the Paper Nautilus Debut Series chapbook prize. Connect with him at shankarnarayan.net.
