Agnė Žagrakalytė-Platelienė was born in 1979. She is the author of five poetry collections: Išteku (2003), Visa tiesa apie Alisą Meler (2008), Štai: (2017), Bu buitis, arba Alisa Meler išeina pro duris (2019), Liekamieji reiškiniai (2024), three prose books: Eigulio duktė: byla F117 (2013), Klara (2014) Triukšmaujantys katalikai (2022), and one interactive book kilnieji.lt. She enjoys feeding people, riding bicycles (if nobody keeps telling her to go faster), the martial arts of kendo (if she’s not fighting a beast) and iaido (if the strike is swift), laying on her stomach while she reads, and being lazy everywhere.
