Her essays\, translations\, and criticism have appeared in The Markaz Review\, New Internationalist\, Qantara\, The Seattle Globalist\, and Women Writers\, Women’s Books. Her poetry and literary translations have been featured in international anthologies\, including The Art of Being Human (2013)\, Premio Mondiale di Poesia Nosside (2014)\, and Versus Versus: 100 Poems by Deaf\, Disabled & Neurodivergent Poets (2025).
