Xan Kaur

Xan Kaur is a photographer and author of When Devils Sing based out of Atlanta. Born in the “Land of Waterfalls” and raised in rural Georgia, she’s moved more times than the years she’s been alive. After a childhood spread across dozens of small towns, Xan developed a keen eye for observation of the human experience from a young age.

Having grown up in a non-traditional British-Punjabi household, she became familiar with Pink Floyd before bhangra, grits before aloo gobi. She aims for her writing to reflect these unique, often-overlooked diasporic experiences, with an emphasis on one’s relationship to the physical world around them.

With a passion for environmentalism, a decade of veganism, and a fierce reverence for nature, Xan finds herself drawn to experiences that connect her with the earth. When not writing, you can find her behind her camera, hiking up a mountain, or swimming in the nearest ocean.
