New to our staff in 2021, Kaymin values the mastery of multiple mediums; that’s what drew her to Millennial Pulp. She primarily writes poetry but has dabbled in articles, personal essays, and an (unfinished) novel or two. She loves the literary world for all its joy and disappointment, its victories and defeats. When she’s not reading or writing, she’s running, making delicious food, or spending time with her favorite creative souls.

Tyler Michael Jacobs
Vaghawan Ojha
Vaghawan Ojha spends his days watching the passing wind, streaming down the river, and talking with the small birds chirping inside the remote bushes of the shore. When the flocks come back in the dusk, he welcomes them with a warm chest. He lives in the abundance of serenity, beneath mountains in a small faraway country. Inside the pages, he falters and floats with those humane conditions.

Uma enjoys reading, writing and singing, though not necessarily in that order. She has
found that combining her loves of singing and teaching allows her to be a passionate life long learner. To be a good teacher, she finds herself reflecting on the many nuances of Carnatic music so that she can reveal its beauty to learners who may not have the cultural or linguistic context. Uma hopes that she can share the wisdom of her tradition, something she has always intuitively felt as her source of strength. Her journey into writing, translating poetry from Hindi to English and the other way around, is one she hopes to continue till the curtains are drawn.
