Réka Nyitrai is a spell, a sparrow, a lioness’s tongue — a bird nest in a pool of dusk. She is the recipient of a Touchstone Distinguished Books Award for her debut haiku volume, While Dreaming Your Dreams (Mono Ya Mono Books, 2020). She is the coauthor of Barking of the coming rain, a surreal haibun collection published by Alba Publishing. Her full length poetry collection will be out with Broken Sleep Books in September 2024.
