“Teja’s work is both dynamic and devoted to her practice of literature as an agency for women-identified human rights in a local/global, post nationstate context. Her commitment to women-identified human rights is inspiring. I myself am instructed and inspired by her unique potential, vision, work ethic, and capacity. She came to feminist poetry by way of neuroscience. She is truly a brilliant light. Anything I’ve ever given to her, she has taken and spun gold.”
