About Ida
Ida Rahimi (she/they) is the Youth Programs Coordinator. At age 6 she wrote, “My favorat part of sekendgrad is readersworksho. Becus I like too read so much that Iread at night. And I want to be an author and illustrateder too.” Not much has changed since.
Ida has a wide range of experience in the literary world, from the independent bookstore and local library, to experimental poetry research, small press publishing, and youth literacy education. Despite eternally groaning at long winter months and a general suspicion of the Northeast, Ida’s spent their entire life in the Greater Boston area and holds a B.A. in English from Boston University. Ida is a firm advocate for the restorative power of the arts in its capacity to heal ourselves and communities, confront institutional oppression, and imagine radical futures. Ida was selected for the 2024 Mayor's Poetry Program by Poet Laureate Porsha Olayiwola on the theme of "Resistance." She loves to play in the sun.
