Zeyad El Nahas - Author Website
my name is zeyad el nahas — a lebanese writer, traveler, and researcher interested in the strange ways people try to make sense of themselves, their environment and each other. i write poems, short stories, screenplays, and novels that explore identity, memory, grief, ambition, art, time, and the contemporary human condition — usually somewhere between realism, fragmentation, and emotional chaos.
having completed my master's degree in contemporary creative writing (distinction) at northeastern university london, i’m currently pursuing a PhD in creative writing at the university of plymouth, where my work focuses on storytelling, digital memory, diaspora, and contemporary narrative form. My work includes notes i made into poems, VIVA, Mirror Me This and more fragments that you can read on this webpage. Right now, I’m working on a new poetry collection alongside a novel that sits somewhere between a travel memoir and an odyssey — part movement, part archive, but mostly a search party for home and meaning.
mostly, I write because i am not great at keeping quiet. thank you for being here, busy reading z. enjoy the words, they're all yours.
