Faiz Yusuf, born in 1999, in Patna, Bihar had always been inclined towards writing and music. When he was thirteen-years old, he wrote his first poem for his grandmother. Since then, he has always had a zest to express his feelings into words. He spends his free time watching TV shows and reading books of different genres.

In addition to being a three-time published author of The Farrago, Pictures of Life and Supernova, he has previously worked for HarperCollins Publishers India, Penguin Random House India, United Nations Global Compact and UNESCO. Been a part of Times of India Junior Editorial Board as well as having bagged numerous awards at literary competitions and national MUNs, he underwent summer schooling at London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Additionally, he has written for various publications such as The Pioneer and The Kochi Post. Alongside being a slam poet and being featured on the official Youtube page of YourQuote and Blosson of Poetry, he wishes to pursue his studies in the field of Economics, while keeping his passion for writing animate, for which he was recently featured on Google Cameos.

Faiz has now come up with a book of poems titled Midnight Sun which will be released soon.

Midnight Sun is not a book of literary poems. It is a journal of emotions, even those one is reluctant to admit. There are letters to long-lost lovers. There are reflections of a man not even close to the best version of himself. What one wants to say aloud at one point or the other but often holds back. The book gives voice to all these and more.

The reason why this book is called Midnight Sun is because of the paradoxical nature of every human experience.

The book will be released soon.
