SoulReserve
Collapse BioLakshmi Kanchi, pen name SoulReserve, is an emerging Western Australian poet of Indian descent. Her poetry explores love and its tumultuousness and fantasy and zest in nature. And her writing anatomises the complex linkages between history, language, culture and perception. Lakshmi is a dedicated Writing WA and WA Poets Inc. Board Member. Her debut collection, "Lakesong," was recently published by Centre for Stories which explores themes of love, nature, and culturation. She is the recipient of the 2023 Ros Spencer Poetry Prize and the 2021 Pocketry Prize for Unpublished Poets. She was shortlisted twice in a row for the SCWC Wollongong’s Poetry Prize. Lakshmi's poetry has been featured in— ‘Social Alternatives,’ ‘Portside Review,’ ‘Burrow Journal,’ "The Saltbush Review", "Blue Bottle Journal", "Seagift Journal", "Recoil 12" and more. She was the inaugural Poet-in-Residence at The Wetlands Centre through 2022-23 where she worked on her mission to “make poetry accessible to everyone in the wider community”.
