Raga Ayyagari
What does your inner writing voice tell you?
My inner writing voice encourages me to find the poetry in every object, moment, and experience I encounter. Writing is a way for me to listen to the world and find connections.
What is a book you wish someone would write?
I love reading autobiographies because they inspire me to hear about people reflecting on their lives and what’s important to them. I’d love to read an anthology by young people who write poems and stories featuring life stories of elderly people they respect.
Where do you normally find yourself writing?
I read and write every morning on my metro commute, in my room on weekends, and in the interludes as I wait in line in a store or for the bus.
