Channaveera Kanavi, a prominent figure in modern Kannada literature often referred to as ‘Samanvaya Kavi’ (Poet of Reconciliation), breathed his last at a private hospital in Dharwad on February 16 after a spell of illness.
He was 93. He is survived by a daughter and four sons. His wife and constant companion ‘Shantadevi’ passed away in 2021.
The veteran poet, who was admitted to the hospital with respiratory problems on January 14, had recovered from a COVID-19 infection. The gritty nonagenarian, however, could not recover from other age-related health complications that forced him to be on a ventilator.
