Kamala Das is widely regarded as one of India's most prominent living female writers. Das has written extensively in both English and his native Malayalam, including multiple autobiographical works and novels, several volumes of well-received English poetry, countless volumes of short stories, and articles covering a wide range of topics. Since her first poetry book, Summer in Calcutta (1965), was published, Das has been recognised as a leading poet of her generation. She represents a radical departure from traditional forms of literature by adopting a uniquely Indian voice and style rather than that of the English modernists. The self and female sexuality, city life, women's roles in traditional Indian society, postcolonial identity, and the political and psychological problems of marginalised people are all topics that Das addresses head-on in her thought-provoking poems. The P.E.N. Philippines Asian Poetry Prize (1963), the Kerala Sahitya Academy Award for her writing in Malayalam (1969), the Chiman Lal Award for fearless journalism (1971), the ASAN World Prize (1985), and the Sahitya Akademi Award for poetry in English (1985) are just a few of the many awards and honours bestowed upon Das. The Nobel Committee considered her for the award in 1984.
