Canadian poet and storyteller Asees Kaur is emerging as a powerful new literary voice with her debut poetry collection, Where My Story Begins — a deeply personal exploration of identity, heritage, memory, and belonging.
At just 18 years old, Kaur is already reaching readers across the globe, with her work now available in countries including Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, India, Australia, and New Zealand through major retailers and online platforms. Blending lyrical storytelling with emotional honesty, Kaur writes about girlhood, faith, love, grief, lineage, and the quiet struggles carried through generations.
Her poetry resonates deeply with readers who have ever felt caught between cultures, searching for home within themselves, or learning how to give voice to unspoken emotions. Where My Story Begins reflects Kaur’s belief that stories do not need to be extraordinary to matter — they simply need to be told. Through intimate verses and reflective prose, she captures the beauty of inherited love and the emotional weight of memory, creating a collection that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.
“Never thought something that started as words in my heart would travel across countries like this,” says Kaur.
“Writing became a way for me to understand where I come from, who I am, and the stories that live quietly inside so many of us. Every poem carries a piece of memory, identity, and healing.”
In addition to being a writer, Kaur is also an aspiring business and accounting student and a recreational gymnastics coach. Her growing literary presence continues to connect with readers worldwide who see themselves reflected in her words and experiences.
