- Title
Gemeinschaft: Kamala Das's Quest for Love.
- Authors
Chambial, D. C.
- Abstract
Kamala Das, who is well-nigh labelled as a confessional poet in Indian English poetry, has, throughout her poetic career, striven for gemeinschaft in love. The word "gemeinschaft" comes from German language which, according to Webster New World Dictionary, means "a social relationship between individuals which is based on common feeling, kinship, or membership in a community." She, in her poetry, has number of times reiterated this quest of her life. This paper aims to study her poetry, especially the poems in her book, The Descendants (1967), for her quest for equitable love.
