ABOUT
A poet and writer based in Dubai, originally from Alappuzha, Kerala, his work engages with urban life, displacement, moral fatigue, and the subdued tensions of contemporary existence. Grounded in observation rather than abstraction, the poems often explore spaces where subtle emotional terrains overlap—memory, erosion, repetition, and unspoken violence.
A journey through image-led writing, the work combines lyrical precision with narrative discipline. It frequently inhabits marginal and transitional spaces—cities, bars, streets, settlements, floodplains, and anonymous interiors—where lives unfold in states of endurance, isolation, and quiet negotiation. Recurring themes include existential drift, collective behaviour, emotional inertia, and the subtle hypocrisies embedded in everyday life, shaped by a coastal Kerala upbringing and a transnational life in the Middle East.
The debut collection, Exit: Poems for Selected Nights, is directed at attentive readers and resists easy consolation or overt resolution. Ongoing work continues to examine the psychological and mythic residues of modern life, and the fragile rituals through which individuals navigate dislocation and survival.
Alongside writing, he works as a finance professional. He approaches poetry as a practice of attention—alert to silence, fracture, and moments that linger.
