14: Abstract: Dr. Tanushree Nayak
A Reading of Dissent in the Poems of Sampurna
Chattarji and Pratibha Satpathy in Comparative Perspective
Sampurna
Chattarji , a contemporary Indian woman poet writing in English and Pratibha
Satpathy, a contemporary Indian woman poet writing in Odiya express dissent
shrouded in fear , hope and despair. Poetry as a tool of transformation and
transgression keeps up the spirit of mankind. The paper will compare and
contrast the two poets and bring to light a yearning for dissent in two
different levels. Chattarji works it out in material level whereas Satpathy
works out the same which has been fluctuating in spiritual level. As life is
comprised of both the aspects there is close correspondence between the two.
The paper in a synchronic process will also discuss some of the Indian women
poets writing both in English and Odiya who have been projecting the same in clear
terms. With note of dissent both the poets hint at an alternative world which
could be lived in bypassing tradition and taboo.
