Abstract

Poets like Jayanta Mahapatra and Kamala Das are social critics who try to showcase societal issues through their poems. They take refuge in poetry’s ambiguous, abstract and complex nature to express the life intricacies. Furthermore, the terminology and lexicon of their language serve as the primary tool for producing the desired impact. This paper attempts to study and compare the poetic styles of Jayanta Mahapatra and Kamala Das applied in “Hunger” and “Forest Fire” respectively. It also explores the different modes and techniques of presenting hunger in their respective poems. Additionally, it examines the lexical density, symbolism, and imagery employed in their poetic worlds and how these techniques are successfully employed in their work. Moreover, it will study how English is Indianized in these poems
