The Vijay Nambisan Trust was formed in 2018 following the untimely demise of the poet, essayist and literary critic whose work is lauded for its inimitable blend of clarity, lightness, gravitas and satire. Vijay Nambisan is that rare artist whose work mirrored his belief in the absolute need for clear and honest communication. His poetry, essays and non-fiction books spell this out in every word and thought. He stubbornly followed the beckoning of his creative genius, without resorting to the advertising of his talents.
