We are Prisma

Prisma is a collective project born out of the queer literary landscape. We are actors, creators, organizations, and individuals united by our shared love for queer literature. This is our way of giving heartfelt thanks to the Nordic authors, translators, illustrators, and publishers who give us to access such a wide array of queer literary narratives.
