Bushra Rehman’s mother says Bushra was born in an ambulance flying through the streets of Brooklyn. Her father is not so sure, but it would explain a few things. Bushra is a vagabond poet who travelled for years with nothing more than a Greyhound ticket and a bag full of poems. Now, she performs her work around the US. She is co-editor of Colonize This! Young Women of Color on Today’s Feminism and author of Marianna’s Beauty Salon. To read poetry, excerpts from her desi adventure novel or memoir of being a Pakistani little rascal, visit her website.
