As the ‘poetry’ magazine turns 100, Malayalanatu celebrates this occasion
as the 100th anniversary of little magazines as a whole.
Founded in Chicago by Harriet Monroe in 1912, Poetry magazine in its first
year published William Carlos Williams and William Butler Yeats; Joyce
Kilmer’s “Trees” and Ezra Pound’s “In a Station of the Metro”; and
introduced Rabindranath Tagore to the English-speaking world just before he
was awarded the Nobel Prize. The magazine has since published a new issue
every month for one hundred years.
Since its beginning Malayalanatu has concentrated its team work towards
nurturing and promoting the alternative media movement. Malayalanatu , a
global community for malayalees,  considers this  occasion an opportunity

movements that sprouted in Kerala .
