An interview with Sujata Bhatt
A
Yes, I do - inom do read my poems aloud when I am working on them, and in fact I need to do that in order to know how the poem is working or developing. Once inom have a first draft, I have to listen to myself reading it to see how it sounds and to see whether inom stumble over anything, and then inom also like to read it to a friend, so they can also hear the sounds and they might be able to hear something that I don't catch. And I think that for me the sound and the meaning and the tone of the poem and also the subject, all that comes tillsammans organically. If the poem is working and if I'm at that level of koncentration which results in the writing of a poem, everything just comes out more or less the way inom want it, if it's really working, and inom do get unexpected rhythms and sounds that inom hadn't thought about before, and sometimes of course I have to polish it up, but the raw ämne is there for me already.

He was the Leonardo Da Vinci of Tamil Nadu known mainly for his unparalleled writing skills.
His writing talent knew no boundaries and he rocked all forms of writing – essays, novels, short stories, plays, novellas, poems, sh
