Among the top ranking contemporary poets of Kerala, Vishnu Narayanan Nampoothiri occupies a unique and luminous place with his poetry drawing thematically and stylistically from the well springs of traditions. After a long and immensely successful career as a Professor of English literature in various colleges, he has, true to his contemplative bend of mind, chosen to serve Lord 'Shri Vallabhan' at the temple in his name at Thiruvalla as 'Shanthi'. For him, life itself seems to have become a long meditative poem with cadences radiant and restrained.
Beginning his first steps in the literary field of Kerala at a time when the emotional extremes of the Edappally Poets held sway, Vishnu Narayanan moved forward absorbing influence, assimilating ideas and ideologies, wrtiting all the time. The fruit of this search and constant interiorization is a style all his own, the tone and temper of which sets him apart from his peers. His works include Swathanthiriathekurichorugeetham, Boomi Geethangal, India Enna Vikaram, Mukhamevide, Aparajitha, Athirthiyilekkoru Yathra, Aranyakam and the recent Ujjainiyile Rappakalukal. He is the winner of several coveted awards which included the Kerala Sahithya Academy Award, The central Sahytha Academy Award, The Odakuzhal Award, The Ulloor Award and the Asan Price. We wish him many more years of peaceful and fulfilling life infused with the abundance of creative energy.
