Aenea Kanaan is a twenty-three-year-old poet, artist, and storyteller based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. As a recent graduate from Syracuse University in New York, she uses her degree in communication and rhetorical studies to build worlds through her imaginative writing and channel her deepest, most intimate feelings into art. With the opportunity to study abroad in Osaka, Japan, during her time at Syracuse, she gained an even deeper reverence for other cultures, languages, and ways of life, which influences how she sees the world.
