Asnia is a wandering aesthete.
Her heartspace is unequally split between Chicago, Beirut, and Rawalpindi.

Asnia Asim’s debut collection STRANGE & UNSHINING was named the 2022 Philip Levine Poetry Prize finalist by the former U.S. poet laureate Juan Felipe Herrera. Her chapbook Quarantine with Rilke (Finishing Line Press, 2021) was listed by Ms. Magazine as “one of the most exciting and necessary collections published late last year and forthcoming in 2022.” Her poems have received multiple nominations for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net. Her latest work can be found in Pleiades, Apogee, Michigan Quarterly Review, CALYX, The Massachusetts Review, and Cream City Review, among others. She is the recipient of the University of Chicago’s Humanities Fellowship and Brandeis University’s Alan Slifka Award.
