Explore diverse Asian voices through personal essays, poetry, and memoirs from the Asian Writers' Collective, featuring reflections on identity, culture, and conscious living.
Thank you for featuring my work in this post! I'm very honoured!
I would just like to offer two corrections. Firstly, my series of poems should be labelled as fiction rather than memoir as I took many creative liberties and these poems do not entirely reflect my actual life. I apologize if this was not clear. I mentioned this within each post for the series.
Please see a quote regarding this from my post for "my grandma, so clean" below
"This series was inspired by a wide variety of sources, including what I’ve read online about other Muslim women’s experiences, what I’ve heard directly from friends and family members, as well as my own lived experiences.
While working on this series, I’ve taken many creative liberties, which have lead me to produce a set of fictional poems that aim to encapsulate the complex emotions and dramatic events surrounding broken engagements in the South-Asian Muslim community, an unfortunately common occurrence."
Secondly, I started on this series in the summer of 2023, so that would now be two summers ago.
Again I really appreciate that my work was featured here! I'm so excited to check out the other writers that were featured in this list, thanks for doing this!!!
I'm actually the one who should be apologizing in that I was so enamored from the poem series that I failed to take note of your backstory. I'm actually going to repost this review on my own page so I will be sure to include your commentary. I really enjoyed the poems so much!
No worries at all! I'm very honoured to know that my work resonated with you so much.
I would appreciate it if you also ensured to update the phrases "between her grandmother and her" and "between her and boyfriend" to clarify that these poems are about an unnamed fictional main character, rather than myself.
Hi Tiffany, didn’t mean to make more work for you and thank you for doing this. However, I. S. added that she wanted me to clarify that the conversations with her grandmother and boyfriend are from the point of view of a FICTIONAL character. Sorry to drop this on you.
Thank you so much, Tiffany. I’m going to crosspost to my Substack. Oh, and on another note, I have the Signal app now, but not sure how to get on your group. Thanks again.

Thank you! I see your DM and I will reply later today.
Hi! I made the corrections on the post. Please take a look. :)

Oh yes, good catch. Done.

Great! Try scanning the QR code or using the link from the group chat (I posted a new one since I guess the first one didn’t work).
Thanks for doing that Tiffany! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones this winter.
You, too!
