Zualteii Poonte is a retired English college teacher in Aizawl, Mizoram. She has run, albeit somewhat sporadically, a blog on Mizo writing in English (https://www.mizowritinginenglish.com) since 2007 and is deeply interested in promoting young Mizo writers in English. Although this is her first book publication, she has had poems, prose pieces and translations published in various journals and anthologies in India and abroad, including the 2023 Zubaan publication The Keepers of Knowledge: Writings from Mizoram. She dabbles inexpertly in photography, and enjoys a low-key life with her two younger sisters and assorted cats and dogs.
