Sheniz Janmohamed, poet and writer, has been nominated for “Favourite Author” for the Masala! Mehndi! Masti! Festival’s People’s Choice Awards.
“Sheniz Janmohamed is one of a very few new poets who has mastered the form of the ghazal in a way that brings together the emotional aspects of the form and the expectations of the listeners who know the form and it’s cultural unity: mystic illumination, rhyme, refrains that exude passion, and couplets with wise insights. The couplets in her eloquent and appealing ghazals dazzle one with their precision, sudden turns and brilliant use of cultural memory of language and imagery.”
— The Late Dr. Kuldip Gill (Professor, Poet and Mentor)
