Kalapriya

Hailing from Tirunelveli, a town in India known for nurturing many modern Tamil writers, Kalapriya is the pseudonym of T.K. Somasundaram. His literary career began in 1970 and he has to date published more than 300 poems - all of which have been anthologised in nine collections. A complete compilation of his poems has been titled as Kalapriya kavithakal. Simple, natural and earnest, his poems appeal to all sections of poetry-lovers. A widely translated Tamil poet, his poems may be found in Indian languages such as Hindi, Bengali, Oriya, Malayalam and Kannadam and are published in all leading literary and popular magazines like Vikatan and Kumudam. Organizations like Tirupur Tamil Sangam (1994), Vairamuthu Samooha Ilkkia Peravai (1998) and Kavignar Devamakal Ilakkiya Viruthu (2001) have chosen to honour him with awards for his poetic accomplishments. Kalapriya's poems are also on the prescribed reading list in several universities in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka, both at the graduate and post-graduate levels.
