Jean Arasanayagam was a Srilankan and reputed as one of the contemporary leading poets in Srilanka who writes in English. She is the author of several published volumes of poetry written by her. In 1984, she won the national awards for non-fiction literature.She is a Burgher by birth but married to a Tamil.Because of this marriage she had to suffer enormously during the racial violence.She tried to convey information about Tamil community in Srilanka. Therefore her poetry was extended with a widespread recognition.
" Wedding Photographs" is an ideal reflection out of her poetry because it brings a wide description about the cultural patterns, rituals and traditions of the Tamil community in Srilanka.some of her poetry has been written while she was in a refugee camp.It appears that some of her poetry is biased.
