INDIAN ENGLISH POETRY: KAMALA DAS
Keywords:
Modernist, Poets, WomanAbstract
Self-assertion is Kamala Das' first line of defence. Claims to remember the names of all those in authority, starting with Nehru, despite not being engaged in politics. She seemed to be saying that they are engrained in her without her even realising it. She repeats that these politicians were trapped in a repeated cycle of time, devoid of any personality, by daring us to recite them as readily as days of the week or the names of months. They were not the architects of time; rather, they were shaped by it.
