Words are the most powerful drug used by mankind. Writing is a means of creating a place in the world. The use of the personal voice and self-revelation are means of self-assertion. Women's poetry leads to view the psychological fabric of literature, to assess the newly evolving non-traditional roles and situations of women in a fast developing society, the consequent problems and gender issues. The desire to weave words beat in the heart of the poet taken for study. The main aim of this research paper is to examine the poetic features of Eunice de Souza's poetry. This study of her poetry displays what kind of language is used in terms of the grammar and other poetic elements like irony, symbols, satire, imagery etc. Using these poetic features she wants to write in her own voice and makes poetry a medium of communication to the world. With her poems, de Souza takes the reader on a journey from an external experience to internal one. She uses these means in a very controlled way, feeling to lead the reader to see that every word has a possible double meaning and every image may bring to mind some inner working of the speaker.
