Subject: Re: Calling all South Asian Women Writers....


Hello...thanks for enquiring about creative among South Asian women ....
I am a Ph.D student in English at the University of British Columbia. I 
just finished my comprehensive exam and am going to test the waters 
regarding a possible thesis area... to involve gender, constructions 
of the "WEST" nationalism and South Asian women's identites as informed by 
these.
	However, to be more specific to your enquiry...I am a student 
from Bombay (on a student visa) and have been writing poetry...for a few 
years....I have not published...
	My e-mail address: marian-AT-arts.ubc.ca 
	             keep the above as my preferred address, but if for 
some reason this address is not compatible with your system for sending info
please write to: marianjg-AT-unixg.ubc.ca
My mailing address is: Marian Gracias

	I would be very interested in reading creative writing by/ 
conecting with South Asian women writers.
	I have read a some anthologies....but it would be great keeping 
in touch with the up and coming/contemporary/published/unpublished 
writing scene too as well as getting to know more titile to look for in 
the future.
	Good luck...keep in touch and tell me what you are studying/working..
	Marian.
