Blog Writer

Hi! I'm Shereen Rana, and I'll be working as a blog writer for Humankind Zine. I've been writing for about a year now, and this is an outlet where I hope to continue my passion.

I've always loved writing. I can't remember when it started, but I do remember how much the prospect of writing essays in middle school heartened me. But it was recently that I really picked up words—including reading and poetry. I also currently work as a writer for Morpho Magazine.

Music, literature (especially mystery), punk rock, and an inexplicable love for, well, everything, is what really moves me. Also cats. These things always find a way into my works as motifs and themes.

Now, as a high-schooler nearing college, I hope to further my craft and reach other people the best I can as I move towards becoming an author.

Cloud Tracks

I'd been sitting in an airplane when I saw them—clouds glimmering across and over, in colours and formations I could only dream of, if even that.

This poem minds and celebrates the absurdity of the shapes, the connection between the ground, the clouds, time, and history. Whether the clouds care about us or not. It sees itself as a realisation.
