“எல்லாம் கலந்து” [Translated as: Combining All] by Mohankumar Shanmugam poignantly portrays the serenity of a writer and the power of his words. The poem invokes imageries mundanity and invokes the spirit of the writer’s ink with blood – as it is the tool to induce the change combining all the spirits of life. மீட்பன் [Translated as: The Savior] is a melancholic song of a young mother longing for the baby that she had when she was young. It is a poem of lost love and longing wretched through the pain of everlasting innocence and infinite time.
