A celebrated Australian talent of South Indian descent, Oormila’s work has captivated audiences worldwide, earning prestigious nominations such as the Pushcart Prize and Sundress Best of the Net. Her poetry collections, Patchwork Fugue and A Second Life in Eighty-Eight Keys, have solidified her reputation as a creative force.
