About
Trivarna Hariharan

Trivarna Hariharan is a poet, pianist and educator. She has studied English Literature at Delhi University, and the University of Cambridge (ICE). A Pushcart prize and Orison Anthology nominee - her poems are published or forthcoming in Duende, Entropy, Stirring, Times of India, Deccan Chronicle, COUNTERCLOCK, Atticus Review, JMWW, The Hunger, Whale Road Review, The Shore, Chiron Review, and others. She has authored two collections of poetry - Letters Never Sent (Writers Workshop Kolkata), and There Was Once A River Here (Les Editions du Zaporogue, France). Hariharan pursues writing as an exercise in re-making language - and undoing linear, uni-dimensional modes of time.

In doing so: she upholds the possibility of un-knotting dominant narratives of power. For her - moving against time is a way of circling back to it from the possibilities of alternate temporalities. To write, then, is to be unmastered by what threatens us. Her third book of poems is forthcoming in 2024. Besides writing - she has received certificates of distinction in Electronic Keyboard from Trinity College, London.

She founded Wildflowers Are Prayers in order to provide writers of all ages & nationalities with a nurturing home for their writing. A safe, non-judgemental space for expressing themselves and creating the art they’d want to create— whilst receiving ongoing encouragement and support.
