Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book Traces The Origin And Growth Of Kamala Das As A Poet Through Successive Stages. Mrs. Das, Who Received No Formal Education, No Pompous University Degree, Stands On Her Own Merit And Is Placed On The Pinnacle Of Reputation And Distinction Among Indo-English Poets Of Today. Her Scintillating Verse Has That Irresistible Force And Tilting Rhythm In It Which Captures The Reader S Attention Immediately. The Reader Often Feels That He Is In The Presence Of A Writer Who Is Highly Gifted And Skilful, Largely Emotional And Subjective, And Who Is Ever Celebrating The Charms Of The Body And The Hungers Of The Sex, Without Getting Him Bored Even For A While. The Poetess Admirably Comes Through The Dictum Of William Wordsworth When He Pronounced That Poetry Is The Spontaneous Overflow Of Powerful Feelings. The Present Book Endeavours To Combine Biography And Criticism And Makes A Critical-Analytical Study Of Mrs. Das S Verse To Date. It Is Not So Much A Chronological Survey Of Her Literary Output As An Investigation Into The Aspects Of Her Poetry. There Are Already Books, Articles And Reviews On Kamala Das, But This One Is Unique In Evaluating Her Poetic Worth In The Light Of Her Work And In Ascertaining Her Position Amongst Contemporary Indo-English Poets. This May Well Claim To Be The First Of Its Kind In Making A Pointed Approach To Diverse Subjects Of Her Verse, To Her Being A Confessional Poet, To Her Conspicuous Tragic Vision Of Art, And In Critically Examining Some Of Her Significant Poems And In Undertaking An Appraisal Of Her Novel, Alphabet Of Lust (1976), And Of Her Prose Works. It Is, Thus, Designed For The Benefit Of The Teachers Of English Literature And The Taught Alike.

Download or read book Hapax written by A.E. Stallings and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2006-03-10 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recipient of the 2008 Poet’s Prize Recipient of the 2008 Benjamin H. Danks Award Hapax is ancient Greek for "once, once only, once and for all," and "onceness" pervades this second book of poems by American expatriate poet A. E. Stallings. Opening with the jolt of "Aftershocks," this book explores what does and does not survive its "gone moment"-childhood ("The Dollhouse"), ancient artifacts ("Implements from the Grave of the Poet"), a marriage's lost moments of happiness ("Lovejoy Street"). The poems also often compare the ancient world with the modern Greece where Stallings has lived for several years. Her musical lyrics cover a range of subjects from love and family to characters and themes derived from classical Greek sources ("Actaeon" and "Sisyphus"). Employing sonnets, couplets, blank verse, haiku, Sapphics, even a sequence of limericks, Stallings displays a seemingly effortless mastery of form. She makes these diverse forms seem new and relevant as modes for expressing intelligent thought as well as charged emotions and a sense of humor. The unique sensibility and linguistic freshness of her work has already marked her as an important, young poet coming into her own.

Now her message comes to the United States in her first American book--ENCOUNTERING KAMALA. When no one else dared, a young woman named Kamala Das took a poetic stance for those who had no voice in India.

Also included are original drawings, photographs, and her personal correspondence with Andrew Arkin, longtime friend and publisher of this book. Encountering Kamala captures the courageous spirit of a Nobel Prize-nominated poet.
