A poet is passionately in love with the language. And here is a teacher named Litty Lokanath, who wrote her first poem "Wings of Pangs" while grieving the demise of APJ Abdul Kalam, former president of India. It received good appreciation from many poetry lovers. It was her ardent wish to meet the amazing person but couldn't. However she feels his blessings in her journey as a poet. "The unseen presence of APJ is my driving energy," she said.

Her anthology 'Small Fingers of Him', comprising 125 poems, was released by the Leadstart Publishing, Mumbai one year ago and later as Amazon Kindle edition also. The book has been one among the five finalists in the best poetry category of E-book literature festival conducted by a UK-based publisher Bards and Sages in 2018.The collection depicts mainly Malayali culture and tradition.

"Litty's poetry is deeply rooted in the old-world values. It is from those values that she draws her inspiration to write. Her poetry is not concerned with the stylistic experimentations of the current times. It addresses the fundamental concerns of human existence that have troubled sensitive minds from ancient times. She writes with the concerns on modern-day issues like violence, unwanted old age and the frightening loneliness that accompanies it. Motherhood is central to her poetry," stated Dr. Salli Varma Raja's review on the book 'The Small Fingers of Him'. He is a faculty of Department of English, St.Joseph's College, Devagiri.

Nature too is a significant theme of Litty's poems. By loving nature, she believes that, the Almighty will welcome us to Nature's lap and then everyone can enjoy the ecstasy within it. Litty's poems about some unique individuals can take you to their wonderful world. Her poems reflect the visions and sights which have influenced her so far.

The young poetess has written several poems within a span of one year which she terms as a wonderful phase of her life. She feels the presence of God Almighty in every moment. "He gave me this gift as a token of love, in return for my truthfullness in life," Litty paid tributes to the Almighty.

Litty wants to lose herself in writing as it makes her forget everything. "Follow your heart.. This is what every writer says which Lord Krishna have said in Bhagavad Gita. It was the time when I couldn't resist writing. Then all my buried thoughts came to my mind and it get started all in a sudden," she said while also revealing that the book "The Alchemist" has also been an inspiration.

"My family is my addiction. The combination of mere truth and imagination will make a perfect poem. All my achievements are their benevolence and I want to donate all I have to the society. This is my dream," she added while referring to her parents Lokanath and Vijaya and twin brother Vitty.

The most beautiful thought in this world, she believes, is that everyone is a Genie and has his own importance in this amazing world. As a teacher she has been fortunate to know more innocent minds.

Litty has around 200 English poems to her credit. Litty has also written two novels in Malayalam and more than 50 songs about Guruvayoorappan. A presentation of mural pictures drawn by her was held at Lalithakala Academy Art Gallery.

Born on October 31,1980 in Thiruvalla, Litty did her schooling at St.Joseph's Girls High School, Changanacherry, and graduated from the NSS College there. She has done her post graduation from MSM College, Kayamkulam, and B.Ed from UTCE Payippad.
