About the Book

At the threshold of M.A.Shaki's Realm of PoetryOn This Volume - A Few Things to Share...Latha Ramakrishnan.When I joined Facebook one by one many poets from India and Sri Lanka became my friends.Friends means not that we interacted much.But, our poems did.One such poet was M.A.Shaki.When a poet mentions sea it need not be a specific sea or a real sea or not even a sea. A discerning reader understands this.When Poet Shaki says 'this is My Sea' the real and surreal seas, the seas of the bygone eras and those of today, the seas that are and are not are all swelling and surrounding us, within and without and we are caught in its swing and swirl.Reading her poignant poems brought to my mind so instantly the poetic deficiencies of some of the poets who have become universally known as the frontline poets of Tamil.This always happens due to various factors, irrespective of religion and caste.To put it more precisely. Despite being qualitatively good not all poets of the same caste and the same religion get the recognition and reward due for them.This can be called some sort of 'existential crisis'.Being a single parent, taking care of her four children, suffering the onslaught of breast cancer, all the while having Tailoring as her means of livelihood, Poet M.A.Shaki found solace and relief in penning poems.In June this year, i.e. 2019 she breathed her last leaving her poems behind to keep her alive.By way of paying homage to a truly great poet I am presenting this small volume comprising 20 poems of our fellow-poet M.A.Shaki, also known as Thirumalai Shaki, with their English renderings by me.A brief profile of the poet and an article by fellow poet Riyaz Quarana who is known for his poems that are rich in style and content are also there, both in Tamil and English.I feel honoured to bring forth this volume under the banner of ANAAMIKAA ALPHABETS.I thank all my facebook friends and fellow poets, Poet Nasbullah, Ryaz Quarana and Poet Shaki's eldest daughter Amyfor encouraging and supporting this initiative of mine.Latha RamakrishnanANAAMIKAA ALPHABETS10.07.2019The bird's slice of skygets stuck inside the cage.M.A.SHAKIPOET M.A.SHAKI, A REPUTED TAMIL POET hailing from SRI Lanka. She is well known and much respected for her poems that she used to upload in her Facebook Timeline. Mohammed Abusali and Bathila Umma are her parents. Her poem collection NIRANGAL UDHIRKKUM IRAVU(Hues Dropping Night) was published in 2017 and was well received and widely acclaimed. Being a single parent she looked after her four children with care and concern, toiling hard to bring them up, educating them and being their friend, philosopher and guide, using her skill and expertise in Tailoring as her means of livelihood. Despite fighting against the onslaught of breast cancer for the past several years and all the time working to feed her children and educate them, Shaki never stopped writing poetry - soulful and poignant - finding joy and relief in reading and writing Poetry. Her poems are highly poetic, to say the least. She breathed her last this June(June 2019) and by way of paying respect to our fellow poet and expressing solidarity, this small volume comprising some 20 poems of Shaki with their English renderings is published.So long Shaki. Your poems will live on!
