Question

Who is your favourite Indian poet in English? Write briefly.

Answer 1

Ans. My favourite Indian poet in English is Kamala Das. She was born on 31st March 1934. Her autobiography was published in 1976. In 1984 she was shortlisted for the nobel prize literature. Her important volumes of verse in English include Summer in Kolkata (1963), Sirens (1964), The old playhouse and other poems. Kamala Das's poetry is primarily autobiographical and her theme is love of a lonely heart love with never-ending passion, just greed and hunger that never satiate. Kamala Das reveals a commendable mastery of phrase and control over rhythm.
