Lamisa – photo credit: Richa Mistry

Lamisa is a spoken word poet whose voice has been shaped by her own poet father and the rich Bangali tradition of কবিতা আবৃত্তি (kobitta abritti/poetry recitals). She writes from a place of quiet observation of the world and people- inequality, injustice, love and loss – and uses her words to "rage against the world".
