In this interview with Maryse Jayasuriya, Vivimarie Vander Poorten discusses the lack of publishing infrastructure, particularly with regard to Anglophone writers in Sri Lanka, and the significance of the Gratiaen Prize in such a context. She also analyzes how her own hybridity reflects the colonial past of Sri Lanka. She mentions her ambivalence regarding writing creatively in English and the need for, as well as the difficulties of, translating poetry from English to Sinhala and Tamil and vice versa. She also discusses the influence of the internet and social media sites on her own writing, especially in terms of interacting and receiving feedback from readers
