Anis Mojgani is a multidisciplinary artist from New Orleans, living in Portland OR. Inherent to his artistic explorations is a love for story and the belief that they are inherent to our being human––the telling of, the sharing of, the listening to them––though seeking less to tell stories and more so in simply finding them and the ways to let them tell themselves. A big believer in the power of imagination and the inherent nobility in humans, much of his work seeks to see where beliefs in these two powers can take root in the lives of others, while blossoming inside his own.

A two time National Poetry Slam Champion, winner of the International World Cup Poetry Slam, and multiple-time TEDx Speaker, Anis has been awarded residencies from the Vermont Studio Center, AIR Serenbe, The Bloedel Nature Reserve, and the Oregon Literary Arts Writers-In-The-Schools program. His work has appeared on HBO, NPR, Buzzfeed, and the American Academy of Poets, and in such literary journals as Rattle, Platypus, Winter Tangerine, Forklift Ohio, Thrush, and Bat City Review, amongst others.
