Devanshi Khetarpal graduated from NYU in May 2023 with a Master's in Comparative Literature, and is currently an MFA candidate in Fiction at the Iowa Writers' Workshop. Her thesis titled "Naming the Earth: Smarginatura, Language, and the Earthquake in Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels," completed under the advisement of Prof. Chiara Marchelli, explores the role of the 1980 Irpinia earthquake in shaping Ferrante's semantic extension of the term 'smarginatura,' or the 'dissolving of margins.' Devanshi's work has been published or is forthcoming in Public Books, Liber: A Feminist Review, Poetry at Sangam, and the Bombay Literary Magazine, among others, and was longlisted for the 2023 Toto Award for Creative Writing in English. She has received support from the Bread Loaf Translators' Conference, Yale Writers' Workshop, and the Juniper Writing Institute at University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She is the founder and editor-in-chief of Inklette Magazine, and is currently working on a novel as well as a collection of short stories. Website: www.devanshikhetarpal.co
