Hannan Khan

Hannan Khan—a nefelibata, poet, and scholar of literature & linguistics from Pakistan. He combs through moments of love, death, delirium, & relational complexities, seraphically tracing what’s breathed and what flickers unbreathed. Winner of the Native Voices Award 2025 for his poetry collection Isn’t Cooked Is Cursed, he thrives on distorting ordinary until it sings. When he craves reprieve, he devours dark thrillers like he’s dissecting crime scenes—psychological, raw, unpredictable. He sips coffee, reads Manto, & lets the world unravel. His work has appeared in Failed Haiku, IHRAM Literary Magazine, Graveside Press, SpecPoVerse, Eye To The Telescope, Abyss & Apex, The Headlight Review, The /tƐmz/ Review, The Literary Hatchet, & is forthcoming in Notch Magazine, Winds Of Asia, & Native Voices Anthology. Poetry is his altar; Fiction, his rebellion. For a glimpse into his life, find him on Instagram: @hannan.khan.official
