Poetry of Kamala Das.

Kamala Das is noted for her honest poems and other writings that cover a wide range of issues. Her taboo-breaking work explores themes of love and betrayal, the corporeal and the spiritual. While celebrating female sexuality, her writing remains deeply rooted in her ancestral tradition and landscape.
In her lifetime, Kamala Das published six collections of poetry in English-
She was recognised with many literary prizes, including the Sahitya Akademi and the Vayalar Awards.
A rigorous selection from her oeuvre-six published volumes and other uncollected and previously unpublished poems, have been published by Penguin Classics in 2014- Kamala Das: Selected Poems.
This book offers a unified perspective on her poetic achievement.
These poems are now designed for the stage. ‘Only the Soul knows how to Sing: Poetry of Kamala Das’ is a poetic experience designed by Dr. Omkar Bhatkar using movement, music, and visual aesthetics along with the text.
