Today, Daniel sits down with word witch, multi medium artist, and Tarot Neghar Fonooni. As the author of three books of poetry and prose, Neghar has been writing shitty poems since the age of eight. She is now a self taught professional stuff maker.

A child of immigrants and of the stars alike, Neghar lives in West Los Angeles with her teenage son and an undisclosed number of rocks, crystals, and houseplants.
