Show transcript
Dharker was born in Lahore, Pakistan before moving to Glasgow, Scotland before her first birthday. Dharker's poems are testaments to her experience: intercultural identities and global living.

Dharker's poetry reminds the reader that people often look elsewhere to create a sense of belonging.
