C. Mani was greatly fascinated by the thoughts of T.S. Eliot. He was actively involved in discussion of the concepts of the Revival Poetry when the Ezhuthu magazine was launched in 1959. His poems were also published under the name C. Palanisamy. The poem Gugai (The Cave), was published under the name C. Mani, and caught the readers’ attention. C. Mani, who continued to write poems, wrote a long poem called Naragam (The Hell) in 1962 under the influence of T.S Elliott's The Waste Land. Ezuthu magazine described it as an achievement in Tamil.

C. Mani

Literary Significance

C. Mani was one of the pioneers of the Thamizh Pudhu Kavithai Iyakkam (Tamil Revival Poetry  Movement). He wrote during a period when poetry moved from metered verse to free verse. He was in discussion with N. Pichamoorthi and Ka.Naa. Subramanyam who wanted to create a theoretical background for the Revival Poetry in order to sustain the new form. C. Mani was the author of the first study of Revival Poetry, Yappum Kavithaiyum. He proved that though one can establish the Revival Poetry as one that is free of meter, one can still see the continuity of the traditions of poetry in it. He presented it not only as a concept but also with creative evidence. Sukumaran mentions that C. Mani reworked the style of the traditional poem in the new form when many of his predecessors used prose language for poetry.
