Rajathi Salma

Rajathi Salma was born in a small village in Tamil Nadu, India. Cut off from the outside world as a virtual prisoner in, first, her parents’ and then husband’s homes, Salma began to write poetry. This was eventually published in two volumes, An Evening and Another Evening (2000) and Green Angel (2003), both of which received wide critical acclaim. She has also written a novel, The Hours Past Midnight (2004), which was long-listed for the Man Asian Literary Prize.
