Poetry of Loss and Self-Disgust: A Study of Eunice de Souza
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 7
Abstract
Indian English women poetry can be viewed as an attempt at self- revelation, as there are determined efforts on the part of the women poets to carve out an individual space of their own in the familial as well as social life. Women poets of the postindependence era include Mamta Kalia, Sunita Jain, Gauri Deshpande, Suniti Namjoshi, Imtiaz Dharkar, Melanie Silgardo, Eunice de Souza and so on. They give voice to their dissatisfaction, bitterness, and frustration. Eunice de Souza is one of the most famous confessional poets of second half of twentieth century. Her poetry allow us to peep into her sufferings and tortured psyche on the one hand and the paradox and complexity of the female psyche on the other hand. She reveals the tensions and frustrations which a woman faces because of the discrepancy between the way she wants to behave and the way she is made to behave. De Souza‘s dealing with love and sexuality in her poems show how she is dissatisfied with the society which demands silent acceptance from a woman. She adopts an aggressive attitude, yet she is quite aware of the ―growing unrest‖ of her life that gives her pain and suffering.
