<p><b><i>I Too Became a Poet</i></b> is a luminous collection of contemporary Tamil poetry translated into English that captures the profound beauty and paradoxes of human existence. These verses at once intimate and universal&nbsp; explore love&rsquo;s many dimensions from its tender beginnings to its aching absences while weaving in sharp observations about society inequality and the search for meaning in an impermanent world. &nbsp;</p><p>The poems move with lyrical precision blending traditional Tamil imagery with modern sensibilities. A man counting meager wages is called &ldquo;rich&rdquo;; a lover searches for their beloved in every new face; a society debates whether art corrupts or reflects reality. Each piece though brief carries the weight of epiphany revealing how the personal and political intertwine. The translator honors the original&rsquo;s cultural specificity while making the emotions accessible to all. &nbsp;</p><p>Ideal for readers of Rumi&rsquo;s spiritual brevity Ocean Vuong&rsquo;s vulnerable lyricism or the Thirukkural&rsquo;s philosophical clarity this book is a testament to poetry&rsquo;s power to transcend language. The bilingual edition (Tamil-English) invites both native speakers and new audiences to savor the rhythm and resonance of the originals alongside their translations. &nbsp;</p><p><i>A collection that lingers like a monsoon&rsquo;s first rain brief intense and drenching the soul long after it ends.&nbsp;</i></p><p><b>Pages:</b> 118 |<b> Genre:</b> Poetry / Asian Literature&nbsp; &nbsp;<br/><b>Themes:</b> Love Social Justice Impermanence Cultural Identity</p>
