by Aqsa Rana
A study of the silence between a mother and daughter, exploring shame, distance and the questions a household is built to keep from ever being asked aloud.

Aqsa Rana
Aqsa Rana writes poetry, short fiction, and hybrid prose, with a sustained interest in observation, restraint, and the everyday forms through which authority is learned, inherited, and maintained. Her work is attentive to language as a system, how instruction, habit, silence, and repetition shape conduct in domestic, bodily, and institutional settings. Trained in law and engaged in legal writing and research, she approaches form with an emphasis on structure and register, moving deliberately between lyric compression, narrative withholding, and bureaucratic pastiche. This publication presents a curated selection of her creative work at a point of consolidation, alongside her ongoing legal practice. She can be reached at ranaaqsa86@gmail.com.
