Description
Revathy Gopal’s writing has been collected in 'Free Fall and Other Folliesm', and her short stories and poems in 'Six'.
Poetry has turned into near-obsession for the time being. She has been published in many eminent literary journals in India and several poems have been translated into Dutch by Kees Klok for Kruispunt, published from Rotterdam. She was awarded prized during two subsequent years in all-India poetry competitions sponsored by the British Council and the Poetry Society of India.
