Rashmi Luthra
Rashmi Luthra writes from the Metro Detroit area. She has written for The Massachusetts Review and Eksentrika. She is an active member of The Authors Only Collective. She is an emeritus professor of public communication and culture studies from the University of Michigan-Dearborn. Originally from India, she has lived in India, the Philippines and the U.S. She has published several academic articles in her field as well as the book Destination Detroit: Discourses on the Refugee in a Post-Industrial City. She has recently begun to write flash fiction and poetry. She enjoys the work of South Asian authors such as Arundhati Roy, Rohinton Mistry and Amitav Ghosh, Latin American writers such as Isabel Allende and Gabriel García Marqúez, among others. She is enjoying the flash fiction form and the spur it provides to hone the craft. She divides her time between writing, traveling, taking care of her granddaughters and occasionally rock climbing. Caregiving has been and continues to be an important part of her life. Writing has always anchored her, in one form or another.
