A. Ayyappan is a renowned Malayalam poet in the modernist period. Born in 1949 in a wealthy goldsmith's family, he lost his father at an early age. His mother committed suicide shortly thereafter. Ayyappan was supported by his sister Subbalakshmi and his brother-in-law V.Krishnan.
Ayyappan started writing poetry when he was a student. He became involved in the Communist Party and joined the staff of Janayugam, the party newspaper. Ayyappan is well known for his heart touching poems and his bohemian lifestyle. He can also be considered as the last remaining icon of anarchism in kerala. He was a close friend of the late filmmaker John Abraham. Important Works
