description: "Mahakavi Kumaran Asan was a poet of Malayalam literature, Indian social reformer and philosopher. He is known to have initiated a revolution in Malayalam poetry during the first quarter of the 20th century, transforming it from the metaphysical to the lyrical and his poetry is characterised by its moral and spiritual content, poetic concentration and dramatic contextualisation. He is one of the modern triumvirate poets of Kerala and a disciple of Narayana Guru. In 1922, the Madras university awarded him the prefix \"Mahakavi\" which means \"great poet\"."
