English in India has made a stay today and Indian English Literature has earned worldwide critical acclaim. There is no doubt of the fact that Indian poetry in English has acquired a regional bias, the poets are definitely influenced by the geographical regions they belong to. In this book, Dr. Nandini Sahu attempts to make a study of the poetry of Jayanta Mahapatra. A.K. Ramanujan, R. Parthasarathy and Kamala Das – the four major voices in contemporary Indian English Poetry – with a view to identifying the significance of recollection as a mode of redemption. Each poet chosen here for study shows a definite, verifiable awareness of the past, the personal or private past, or the past of their cultural history – in order to redeem himself or herself from the forces of time which generate a kind of alienation or insecurity in terms of identity. This study shows how the four poets incorporate memory as a metaphor and use it for therapeutic purposes in the corpus of their poetry.
