Literature
Telugu literature has flourished in the Penner basin which produced several well-known authors and poets. Raallapalli Anantha Krishna Sharma, Vidvan Vishvam, and C. Ramakrishna Reddy are noteworthies among them. Vidhvan Vishvam's penneti paata which means "a song of River Penna" is very popular in Andhra Pradesh and in Raayala Seema in particular. Ramakrishna Reddy's "penneti kathalu" represented the tragic and cultural life of the people of Penner valley. These stories are credited to be the best of their kind with the accent of local language presented effectively.

Famous quotes containing the word literature:
“Just as it is true that a stream cannot rise above its source, so it is true that a national literature cannot rise above the moral level of the social conditions of the people from whom it derives its inspiration.”
—James Connolly (1870–1916)
“Nothing could be more inappropriate to American literature than its English source since the Americans are not British in sensibility.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The literature of the poor, the feelings of the child, the philosophy of the street, the meaning of household life, are the topics of the time. It is a great stride. It is a sign,—is it not? of new vigor, when the extremities are made active, when currents of warm life run into the hands and the feet.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
