Sheena Gurbakhash
Sheena Gurbakhash considers herself an accidental writer. Her work has been featured in Malaysian Places and Spaces (Maya Press) as well as in the anthology, The Second Link: An Anthology of Malaysian & Singaporean Writing (Marshall Cavendish). When she’s not crafting verses with the Delhiwallah Poetry Collective, she’s stirring up drama—literally. Her play, Pineapple Tarts, was featured at the George Town Literary Festival in 2023. She was the Managing Editor of Praxis, the quarterly magazine produced by Bar Council Malaysia and has written two books about the Malaysian Civil Service. She has also written for television and radio. Between being on the Board of PEN Malaysia and a Committee Member of the Malaysian Writers Society, Sheena fuels her creativity with dessert, coffee, and the hunt for stories waiting to be told. Sometimes, she even manages to write them down.
