Avant garde Tamil poetry to the fore:
TAMIL has its own share of "avant-garde" poets, whose works invariably appear only in literary magazines (kuru patrigaigal). Many literary figures say several such poets have gone unrecognised and there is no forum to honour them.

To fill this gap, Kavidhaikkanam was launched on Tamil's New Year Day in 2003. Poets Nakulan, Vaidheeswaran and Gnanakoothan were honoured then. This year, the forum met on May 29 to present awards to three more poets - Kalapriya, Abi and R. Rajagopalan. The award ceremony marked the culmination of day-long literary activity, which included sessions on translation and poetry-reading.
