Teji Grover

Teji Grover is a Hindi poet, fiction writer, translator and painter. According to poet and critic Ashok Vajpeyi, "Teji Grover shapes her language away from the prevalent idiom of Hindi poetry. In her poetry language acquires a form which is unique..." Her poems have been translated into many Indian and foreign languages.

Grover's fiction is known for its blending of dream and reality. Polish Hindi scholar Kamila Junik writes about her novel ''Neela'' (Blue), "All the characters write. All the events are being written. The existence is being written as well. There is no other world beyond writing."
