Dua Fatima
Dua Fatima is a writer of poetry, prose, and quiet reflections. Her work moves between the intimate and the philosophical, small observations that open into large questions about love, memory, time, and what it means to be tender in a loud world.
Penguin Writes is her literary home: a soft, snow-lit corner of the internet where her poems, short stories, essays, and anthology contributions gather like letters on a writing desk.
She writes slowly, and reads slowly, and prefers the sound of a page turning to almost anything else.
