Sonal Chokshi
Born and raised in Kolkata, Sonal married and lived in Mumbai, India, before migrating to New Zealand. Then Australia beckoned and her family travelled to Perth, where they are now settled.
Her diverse experiences have enriched her poems with authenticity and depth. She uses language in a masterful way to create poems that are both thought-provoking and moving.
In the book, she explores themes of racism and empowerment, often focusing on her own growth as a human in a fallible world. The Queen, Racism and Me is a testament to Sonal's need to frame the world as it is and urge us all to reflect on all that we think is immutable.
Beyond the realm of writing, Sonal teaches English as an Additional language. A dedicated teacher, she is a passionate advocate of migrants and their interests.
In her free time, Sonal enjoys spending time with her group of multicultural friends from all over the world. Now that she has authored a book of poetry, Sonal is trying her hand at writing her first novel.
