Serena Lukas Bhandar

I’m a writer, editor, educator, and witch¹ living in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang (colon-ly known as Montréal). Er. Colonially. You know what I mean.

My first chapbook of poetry, this dying body, will be released in June 2022 with Rahila’s Ghost Press.

My other writing has been published in Plenitude Magazine, This Side of West, NonBinary Review, Briarpatch Magazine, and a few other places. I have a short story in Nameless Woman: An Anthology of Fiction by Trans Women of Color, and I wrote a chapter of Turn This World Inside Out: The Emergence of Nurturance Culture with Nora Samaran. I also edit with Room magazine and The Malahat Review, have mentored trans, non-binary, and Two-Spirit youth through the Gender Generations Project, and currently teach writing workshops to youth with the Quebec Writers’ Federation.
