She has a self-publish poetry collection called *Being*. One of her posts, "Your COVID Ramadan," was featured in the anthology (*Her)oics: Women's Lived Experiences During the Coronavirus Pandemic* published in March 2021.

“But I look up above and see the sky
With the moon and stars capturing my eye
I know that you can see it too
Cuz no matter where you are the sky remains true”
Talia Basma, Being

“And when I'm lonely, with everyone around
I go to my happy place where I'm alone”
Talia Basma, Being

“But I'm here to let you know
That I'll love you like you deserve
I'll treat you right
And on a cold, cold night
I'll shower you in hugs & kisses
And soup”
Talia Basma, Being

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry.”
Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

“Jesus!" Luke exclaimed.
"Actually, it's just me," said Simon. "Although I've been told the resemblance is startling.”
Cassandra Clare

“Reality continues to ruin my life.”
Bill Watterson, The Complete Calvin and Hobbes

“We live and breathe words. .... It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them. Reading your words, what you wrote, how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave; the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, I felt--I felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dreamt. I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted--and then I realized that truly I just wanted you.”
Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
