About Rajni Kaur

Rajni Kaur was born in Delhi, India, and now lives in Dublin, Ireland. She has been writing poetry for fourteen years, and Box of Delusions, her debut collection, brings together poems written over the years alongside more recent work.

Her writing is drawn to the average female experience and the quiet absurdity of the rules we grow up with, the way they strip softness and innocence away. Poetry is how she holds onto those raw emotions and keeps that soft center alive. She counts sufi and spiritual poets, especially Rumi, among her biggest influences.

Rajni experiences life at full volume, with emotions that run to extremes, and has spent much of her life navigating mental health struggles connected to that intensity. Over time she has found peace and purpose within it, and poetry has become her natural outlet, a compulsive need to translate feeling into words. More than anything, she hopes her writing offers readers a quiet space, a friend, and a reminder that they are not alone in whatever they're carrying.
