Abstract

Tamil poetry has a long and rich tradition, undergoing constant changes in both content and form over the centuries. Modern poetry, or Pudukkavithai, represents the new form that emerged in the twentieth century. Among the notable poets in this modern Tamil poetic movement is M. Metha. His poems often explore themes of society and social consciousness. This study examines how societal issues and moral reflections are expressed in M. Metha’s poetry.
