Description
Kamala Das is one of the most prominent Indian poet and writer, and her poem "Words" describes, beautifully, the juxtaposition of words and silence, and even though words seldom help the way we want them to, still they keep coming, as if from a somewhere far within, a place we can't fathom.

A dreamy realism; a "growing- up" poem; nostalgia that comes when we begin to appreciate hidden realities behind magical stories. A beautiful piece.
