Why read Tamil poetry
Tamil poetry doesn\'t just describe — it makes you feel. The compactness of poetry forces every word to count. Reading classical Tamil poetry connects you to a tradition that goes back to Sangam times. Reading modern Tamil poetry connects you to today\'s Tamil voices.
If you only read Tamil novels, adding poetry to your reading is like adding a new dimension. Different rhythm, different impact.
