HI, I’m Carolene!
I’m a Malayali-American poet from South Florida, and I currently serve as the Poetry Editor for Okay Donkey. Before you keep scrolling to see my updates, click on the link below to read my latest poem, published in Salamander!
Updates:
Happy 2026! I have some poems forthcoming in Third Coast, The Boiler, and Shō Poetry Journal; I’m very excited for those, so stay tuned!
Other than that, things have been pretty quiet lately. As you wait for more updates, please enjoy this picture I took of a sailboat in Key West during my time at the Key West Literary Seminar.
