'Shastra Deo was born in Fiji, raised in Melbourne, and lives in Brisbane. Her first book, The Agonist, was shortlisted for the 2018 Mary Gilmore Award, commended for the 2017 Anne Elder Award, and won the 2018 ALS Gold Medal.

'Shastra's work investigates the intersection of trauma, memory, and selfhood, with a particular focus on corporeality, embodiment, and strange species of fish.

'Shastra talked to Sumudu about ghosts, fanfiction, her relationship to place, and being a 'good' POC.'
