Philosophical Dilemma and Spiritual Reconciliation in the Poetry of Kamala Das

The book is a modest attempt at studying Kamla Dass Poetry in general and the theme of Philosophical Dilemma and spiritual reconciliation in particular in her poetry.

Kamala can be said the first important Indian English Woman Poet who has attracted a considerable critical attention from scholars in India and abroad. In terms of significant output, she can still be counted as one of the best. It goes without saying that she is the pioneer and patricarch of Indian poetry in English as Sylvia Plath was tot he American Poetry. It is she who awoke Indian poetry to a sense of reality and imparted to it an Indian tone, texture and flavour. (jacket)
