Student Profiles: Manisha Sharma

photo I am an M.F.A. student in Creative Writing.  Fiction is the primary genre I work in, though I’ve also been experimenting with poetry and playwriting.  Occasionally, I’m interested in non-fiction, too.  My writing springs from experience and observation of life in India and the United States.  It usually centers on the cultural interaction between the east and west.  I am fascinated by the works of Salman Rushdie and Jhumpa Lahiri, to name but two.  Practicing yoga is my other strong interest.
