Biography

Poet, littérateur, journalist and editor who works with traditional as well as electronic media, lyricist, student activist – Prabha Varma has been all of these. He has a master's degree and a degree in law.

As a poet, Jnanpith award winner Prof. O. N. V. Kurup complimented him saying "He has inherited the subtle poetic richness of the eminent poet Vyloppilly sreedhara Menon, who himself picked up the quality from Kumaranasan'. The late Prof. M. Krishnan Nair, an eminent critic, wrote 'Prabha Varma is a born poet'.

His poems are composed of a confluence of tradition and modernity. They have soft romantic emotions, a plethora of poetic images, original and innovative narrative skill, philosophical insights, and a deep understanding of the meaning of life.

Prabha Varma is an Academy award-winning poet in Malayalam, He also works as the Resident Editor of the daily Desabhimani.

The multi-faceted littérateur has published nine collections of poems, four books on the contemporary socio-political milieu and literature, four collections of essays in criticism, a study on the media, and a travelogue.

He was born in 1959 at Kadapra, Thiruvalla as the youngest son of T.K. Narayanan Namboothiri and N. Pankajakshi Thampuratty. Before he became a poet of eminence, he was a student activist associated with the Students Federation of India when in college. During the interregnum of Internal Emergency between 1975 and 1977, he was the Chengannour taluk secretary of the SFI and was elected to executive of the Kerala University Union during the academic year of 1979–80.

His first anthology of poems was Sourparnika, published in 1990. It won for him the prestigious Vyloppilli Award and also the Ankanam Award. His second anthology Arkkapoornima came out soon afterwards, and at the age of 37, he won the Kerala Sahitya Academy award for it.

His latest major work, Shyama Madhavam, a novel in verse, is a 15 chapter kaavyakhyayika. It revolves around Lord Krishna and the lives of those who come across him during his earthly sojourn, which the poet says is not a series of ecstasies as many believe, but agonies. It is the touching portrayal of the travails of a solitary soul and the rare courage with which Krishna deals with life.

The work begins in a dramatically poignant and pensive mood and culminates in his swargaarohana, between which he lapses into a series of confessions and repentance. Shyama Madhavam offers a wide spectrum of Chhandas, Alankaaras and metric patterns such as Dandakas on the one hand and brings out the genuine concern of the lonely inner voice of the legendary hero against the backdrop of changing times. Vayalar Award(2013) was conferred on him for his magnum opus, which bagged for him the Kendra Sahitya Academy Award too, Shyamamadhavam. Shyamamadhavam won the prestigious Malayattoor Award(2013) too.
