Biography
Momtaza Mehri is a Somali-British poet and essayist born in 1995. Her debut collection earned the Forward Prize for Best First Collection, one of the UK's most prestigious literary honours. She has also received the Eric Gregory Award, the Manchester Poetry Prize, and the Glenna Luschei Prize for African Poetry—a sweep that signals her work resonates across both British literary institutions and international African diaspora circles. As a writer, Mehri works in poetry and essay form, genres that demand precision and voice. Born in the UK, she holds British citizenship. A Capricorn, her birth year positions her within a cohort shaped by post-Cold War globalisation and digital literacy, though her work remains rooted in the lyric tradition and diasporic memory. Her life-path number 7 reflects a numerological profile associated with introspection and analytical depth—traits evident in her essayistic practice.
