I'm Priyanka, or PM on stage and in writing. I'm a spoken word poet, writer, bookish content creator, and poetpri is where I chat about all those things. I'm also currently working at Penguin Random House, so poetpri is my side hustle. Outside of what I do, I'm basically a big nerd - I obsess way too much over anime, TV, book and video-game characters, all while chugging a gallon of green tea (the best tea) at the same time. I'm based in London and am always down for a chat about writing, or poetry! You can find my contact details below, or find out more about what I do here: https://poetpri.com/portfolio-2/ ____________________________________ - 𝘮 𝘶 𝘴 𝘪 𝘤 𝘤 𝘳 𝘦 𝘥 𝘪 𝘵 𝘴 🎵 - 🎼 music by Obie Hans - Analogue Shades - https://thmatc.co/?l=6A5E8C40 🎼 music by Mark Generous - Dark Roast - https://thmatc.co/?l=02024FFB 🎼 music by Reggie San Miguel - Day by Day - https://thmatc.co/?l=C8CFE273 ____________________________________ - 𝘥 𝘰 𝘯 ' 𝘵 𝘣 𝘦 𝘢 𝘴 𝘵 𝘳 𝘢 𝘯 𝘨 𝘦 𝘳 ❤️ - 📚instagram: https://www.instagram.com/poetpri_m/ 📚tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@poetpri?lang=en 📚twitter: https://twitter.com/poetpri_m 📚facebook: https://www.facebook.com/poetpriim 📚website: https://poetpri.com/ 💌email: [email protected]
