Bakhtawar Khan

Bakhtawar Khan is a doctor currently working and living in Lahore, Pakistan. She loves reading and writing poetry, fiction, and memoirs. Since childhood, themes of nostalgia, doomed love affairs, memory, and the quiet ache of everyday life have resonated deeply with her ever since she first read Wuthering Heights (a few years too soon, perhaps). Through her poetry, she believes the weight of existence feels a little lighter, and the ache of memory softens just enough to be bearable.
