Description

Have you been hanging out in coastal land lately?? Because you look like you're anxiously waiting for another episode of PoeTRY. You'll learn all about that stupid joke this week as we read two poems from the classical Tamil canon of poetry, both titled "What He Said," by Cempulappeyanirar and Kapilar, and translated by A.K. Ramanujan. Yuki is confused about who is the bigger nerd. Put your night's several flowers back on, it's another episode of PoeTRY!

Read What He Said by Cempulappeyanirar here.

Read What He Said by Kapilar here.

The background on Akam poetry was compiled from:

The Interior Landscape: Classical Tamil Love Poems by A.K. Ramanujan

The Norton Anthology of World Literature.
