Moly Thattil

Born in Thrissur. Raised up in Mannarkkad. Opted Economics. Theology conquered me in USA. Living with poems, stories, and novels was my life in the childhood. Afterwards writing poems, stories, and articles became my existential ground. I met the struggles and pains of the oppressed and the exploited in my life with the selected literary works. The issues and realities of vulnerability and subalternity became the elements of my blood.

My first book no way is the way, consists of 18 English poems which is entitled as Aphonic Poems that remains as a new branch in the history of poems published in February 2026. Aphonic means “voicelessness of the voiceless.” All the poems focus on the painful broken voice of the voiceless.

“Poured her pain into waste mud Formless form of a broken body came out Tied with broken ropes eaten by white ants What a wonderful life of life-sharing friendships!!”

My second work is entitled as Kalleriyuka (Stoning) consists of 31 Malayalam poems published in October 2026. All the poems in this book are the voice of the unbearable pains of the discriminated and the downtrodden. Nostalgic feelings and emotions of the lost, least and the last are the truth of these poems; may be my being with experience too. Voice of the Solidarity to the underprivileged and the victimized can be experienced in each poem along with the uncompromised resisting move to stand against the oppressors and the exploiters. Questioning the cultural, religious, political, and social injustice, destructive, and oppressive established structures which are the institutionalized sins can be felt in each line of every poem.

Both books are published by Once Upon a Time; my much obligation. Poems are with endless meanings. It has, I believe, life forever as long as injustice, exploitation, oppression, and victimization prevail as the realities of the society. It is from the beginning onwards, and still continue; only the forms of injustice and unrighteousness patterns are different time to time as per the context. In the earlier days exploitative structures were vividly visible but, as Gayathri Spivak says, “Vanishing Present” which means that in the contemporary society it is invisible in nature due to neo-colonialism and neo-capitalism. Cultural and political slavery are hidden realities. Global production of victim is a global phenomenon. My writings cannot tolerate this process of victimization and vulnerable life of the downtrodden.
