About the author
Tharushi Desilva is a first-generation Sri Lankan-American, born and raised in Staten Island, New York. Her sisters, parents and her grandmother are her life. She spends most of her time writing short stories to one day turn into novels, obsessing over anything BTS-related, and reading. Reading all the time. Poetry is a recent interest of hers but it has consumed her life. She will be an incoming freshman at Barnard College of Columbia University in the fall of 2022 as a possible English major. She wrote The Beautiful Words during quarantine to soothe her mind and it transformed into a work of art that she hopes will help others. The Beautiful Words is her first published body of work, but certainly not her last.
