Kristin Bryant Rajan

Kristin Bryant Rajan, PhD in English, writes poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and literary criticism in Atlanta, GA and is widely published in creative writing journals and anthologies as well as literary and academic journals and books. Her writing--academic and creative--and her teaching revolve around illuminating paths to healing and evolution embedded in our daily lives, the literature we read, and the works we create. She firmly believes that a deep, mindful awareness leads to self-actualization, peace, and contentment.

Her creative work illuminates moments of beauty, pain, growth, and humor. She believes that compassion and healing grow from understanding, and writing is a way to understand. Her writing blends genres: Her poems and essays tell stories, and her prose is imbued with poetry. She is a Pushcart and Best of the Net nominee. Her poetry chapbook, Shadows, is available from Finishing Line Press.
