“My Grandmother’s House” is an autobiographical poem by Kamala Das. She describes the pitiable conditions of her grandmother house and her own life.
Her grandmother is no more. She finds herself alone. She remembers her past when she visits her old house. The present condition of the house is fearful.
The poetess wants to take from this place an armful of darkness at her house where she used to live. She wants to put this darkness safely in her bedroom forever to recollect the memory of the past.
