About Mikhail Moonasar

Mikhail Moonasar is a poet and writer from Trinidad and Tobago. His work moves through love, loss, memory, and the quiet ache of what remains after someone leaves. He writes from the shadows, not to hide, but to understand what lives there. His pages carry titles like "Love Letters to My Shadow" and "Ashes Where My Shadow Sleeps," collections that speak to the weight of longing and the cost of holding on. His voice is tender but unflinching, romantic but never soft. He does not write to comfort. He writes to tell the truth as he has lived it. Mikhail believes poetry is not escape. It is return. It is the slow work of walking back through every door you thought you closed.
