Question

summer in calcutta - Kamala Das comment on the title​

Answer 1

Answer:

This poem is the title piece of the anthology of poems which was published in 1965. The poem projects, through action and gesture, a self-contained mood of sensuous luxury. The image of the April sun in it brings to the poet a sense of sensuous repletion, of warm intoxication which inspires as well as relaxes so that ‘my worries doze’. The poem celebrates the mood of temporary triumph over ‘the defeat of love.’ It is an Indian poet’s creative reaction to the torture of the Indian summer. What distinguishes Kamala Das’s reaction is her unconscious intimacy with this torture.
