Unique way of expressing lust, body and love in Contemporary Malayalam Feminist Poetry

Abstract

The explosive beauty of contemporary Malayalam Feminist Poetry is due to its aesthetic and intellectual openness about lust, body and love. These poems validate the prophecies made by Helen Cixous in Laugh of Medusa about creative wonders that are going to be performed in female imaginary writings. Contemporary women’s poetry dispels all preconceived notions that men have made about women. This paper try to find out the poems that express extreme levels of writing about women’s life and thoughts. The aim of this paper is to mark the heights achieved by contemporary Malayalam feminist poetry.
