ABOUT
Hana Saad is a poet, thinker, and storyteller from Tulsa, OK, which resides on the traditional lands of the Ni-u-kon-ska (Osage), Kitikiti’sh (Wichita), Kadohadacho (Caddo), Mvskoke (Muscogee [Creek]), and Tsálăgĭ (Cherokee) Tribal Nations. She has been making up stories since she can remember and likes it best with her head in the clouds and her feet firmly planted on the ground.
She graduated magna cum laude from the University of Tulsa with degrees in Media Studies and English. During her time at TU, Hana was the Co-Editor of the Stylus Journal of Art and Writing, wrote for The Collegian, TU's student-run newspaper, and was part of the Honors program. Hana is also a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Hana's poetry considers what it is like to grow up in the 21st century while navigating dual cultural identities as a Lebanese-American. She is interested in themes of identity, cultural hybridity, and what it means to occupy and move in spaces with a hyphenated identities, among other things. She dabbles in fiction and screenwriting that feature characters with multiple, interwoven identities and a penchant for causing trouble. When she's not writing poetry or plotting her next project, she volunteers at Puppy Haven Rescue, a local non-profit, where she serves on the team and helps run the rescue's social media. She can be found making copious cups of tea, singing to her favorite songs, or walking in a park somewhere.
