Samiya Bashir

Samiya Bashir, called a "dynamic, shape-shifting machine of perpetual motion" by Diego Baez writing for Booklist, is a poet, writer, librettist, performer, and multi-media poetry maker whose work, both solo and collaborative, has been widely published, performed, installed, printed, screened, and experienced from Berlin to Dusseldorf, Amsterdam to Accra, Florence to Rome, and across the United States.

Sometimes she makes poems of dirt. Sometimes zeros and ones. Sometimes variously rendered text. Sometimes light. Bashir is the author of three poetry collections, including Field Theories, winner of the 2018 Oregon Book Award's Stafford/Hall Award for Poetry.
