Gradient
Ruhani's debut book of poetry

Available now!

Gradient is Ruhani's documentation of conflicting experiences in today's world: youth and aging, friendship and romance, tradition and modernity, exceptionalism and the mundane. The idea of a gradient is that unexpected colors can bleed into each other— and that life is, in fact, complete when it contradicts itself.

​

"Ruhani guides us through first loves, friendships, legacies, and adulthood...with writing that is alive, moving, and human."

Xiao Yue Shan, Author of then telling be the antidote

​

"Fizzing with tender energy, this evocative and wise collection displays an extraordinary poetic talent."

Heidi James, Author of The Sound Mirror
