By day, Kimia Madani is a writer and lifestyle editor based in the Bay Area, California. By night, she dreams of chasing the silvery cloud banks that hang above San Francisco and spinning in long, unhurried circles on the moon. She believes in writing to escape, define, and reinvent the exhilarating design of her own world. Her poetry book, 'The Luminary,' was released by Thought Catalog Books in March 2017. She is currently enrolled in the MFA program at USF, and at work on her first novel.
