Sivakami Velliangiri started writing as a child, when her congenital cataract was mistaken for a keen imagination by her parents. She has been
writing ever since and has been published in national and international magazines such as, *The Little Magazine, Danse Macabre, Indian Scholar* etc. The Lily Literary Review brought out a electronic Chap Book of her poems, ’In My Midriff.’ Currently, she devotes much of her time to bringing younger voices into poetry.
Sivakami's poetry appears in the TOOLS issue of Status Hat (April, 2011).
