அவ்ரீனா பிரபலா-ஜாஸ்லின் / avrina prabala-joslin (1992, Tamil Nadu) or (avrina and the invisible ones) are many poets, spirits and voices sharing one body. They write places, beings and times. Obsessed with memories that pervade and evade, often of childhood, avrina’s writing is an ebb and flow characteristic of their desire for the sea. avrina’s story won the Short Fiction / University of Essex International Short Story Prize 2021 and works have been nominated, among others, for the Indiana Review Fiction Prize, the Berlin Writing Prize, or the Desperate Literature Short Fiction Prize.

Their research on feminist media won them the Niedersachsen Wissenschaftspreis 2019 and the Gender Thesis Prize 2020. Years of poetic and academic experience have enabled avrina to create a devoted bardic practice keen on bringing poetic narratives to collective spaces through readings in collaboration with fellow poets, and through literary practices such as their work as Prose Editor for international journal128Lit. avrina has read at/for Bangalore Literature Festival, Mathrubhumi International Festival of Letters Kerala, Prosanova Hildesheim, Academy of Arts Berlin, the LCB, Poesie Festival Berlin, Lovecrumbs Edinburgh, etc. apart from being published for example in Sinn und Form, The Bombay Literary Magazine, Stoff aus Luft, Kaalachuvadu.
