About Author

Girija P. Pathekkara (1 Post)

Girija P. Pathekkara is a poet who writes in Malayalam. She is based in Kottakkal, Kerala. Her subjects include the events taking place around and be they political, social or whatever their leanings – she interprets these events from a woman’s point of view. And therefore her poems have often been called feminist poems. A woman’s world is different from that of a man’s. The problems a woman faces, her joys and sorrows, her experiences - all these form the subject of Girija’s poems. Her anthology of poems titled ‘Penpiravi‘ was published by DC Books, Kottayam in 2012.
