Priyangwada Perera is a Sri Lankan writer, editor, translator, and journalist who treats language as a kind of magic. Her English translation of Lamuthu Amaya won the H.A.I.G. Prize for Literary Translation at the 32nd Gratiaen Prize as Wid Keirdo. Moving effortlessly between Sinhala and English, she captures human emotion across languages, turning words into bridges rather than walls. From Gampaha, her heart carries an enduring love for Delhi, India, and South African cricket. A quiet collection of poetry waits in the wings, hinting at a book yet to come.
