Confessional Manner in the Poetry of Kamala Das and Sylvia Plath

Confessional poetry is a part of modern poetry. There is no place either for religion or morals in this poetry. The poet does not expect any redemption or retribution as there is no anguish. It is just, that they bare their soul to get a psychic relief. It is of some therapeutic value. The confessional poems are intensely personal, highly subjective. There is no ‘persona' in the poems. ‘I' in the poem is the poet and nobody else. The themes are nudely embarrassing and focus too exclusively upon the pain, anguish and ugliness of life at the cost of its pleasure and beauty.
