‘Kaalam Mithya Aakkaatha Vaakku’, a book on the literary contributions of poet and critic Ayyappa Paniker, published by the Sahitya Pravarthaka Sahakarana Sangham, was released at a function held here on Friday.
Director, State Institute of Encyclopaedic Publications, Dr. Muse Mary George released the book by presenting a copy to P. Raveendran Nair who had translated many of Ayyappa Panicker’s works.
Speaking on the occasion, Ms. George said very few poets in Malayalam had as much diversity in literary output as Ayyappa Panicker. Secretary, Ayyappa Panicker Foundation, Priyadas G. Mangalath, and editor of the book S. Rajalakshmy were among those present.
