There is no doubt in denying the fact that Poets like Jayanta Mahapatra, A.K. Ramanujan, R. Parthasarathy, Arun Kolatkar, Gieve Patel and Kamala Das are some of the well-known Indian poets writing in English who have won name and fame abroad and in our own country as well. Kamala Das is perhaps the most prominent and distinguished figure in Indian English poetry. She writes with frankness and openness which we find very unusual in Indian context. Her personal experiences and observations depicted in her poetry seem to become universal. Her voice also symbolizes the modern women’s voice who wants to free her from the religious orthodoxy (dos and don’ts). Being a confessional poet, Kamala Das takes the reader into the world of her private life and unveils the delicate facts and even the bedroom secrets. A true confessional poet places no barriers between herself and direct expression of that self. Kamala Das does the same, places no barriers and expresses herself without any restriction.

Autobiographical, confessional, emotional
