Hey, I’m Aya.
I’m a poet, novelist and napkin scribbler. I write about love, belonging and the places we call home.
Books and Writing
Poetry
I’m the author of Everything Lives and Love Letters to God and You, two poetry collections about love, creativity and the beauty of the everyday.
Fiction
I’m currently working on NUBUA, a sprawling tale of love and the meaning of home set across Bulgaria, Syria and Malaysia. Read more about the story.
Essays
I write a series of essays called The Women of Syrian Men. These are my personal accounts for and about women who love outside of their culture. I talk about the challenges of cross-cultural relationships, bureaucracy, language barriers and everything that comes with loving another human being in this crazy world. Find them on Substack.
