In English, he has published Undying Echoes of Silence and two poetry collections (Kannaki and He Who Was Gone Thus).

He has also edited an anthology of poems (Third Word: Post Socialist Poetry) with Croatian poet, Lana Derkac.

He received praise from Sashi Tharoor who wrote in The Hindu: "That the University of Calicut harbours such talent in its midst is itself a priceless public relations asset of which I hope the University's administrators are proud."[7]

Regarding He Who Was Gone Thus, Anita Nair stated in the Hindu that it would dazzle even a reader who skims through it.[8]

Rajeevan received a Ledig House International Writers Residency in 2008. He was the second recipient from Kerala, and the eighth from India.[9]
