Abstract

Tanya Mendonsa is a prolific contemporary writer, an abstract painter and more than everything, a lover. Two volumes of her poems entitled The Dreaming House, All the Answer I Shall Ever Get and an enchanting narration The Book of Joshua are published so far. A writer’s role to his/her role is inevitably a contributing one to her society. The object of “peeling back the layers of personal memory and experience” helps in understanding “the often irrational roots of human motivation, thoughts, and behaviour” (Kandel). In coordination with personal memory, Mendonsa’s early life and way of upbringing can be considered with relevance to the context of psycho social impact of nature in literature. In The Dreaming House she records the pattern of a true nature lover throughout her poems. In other words, “[T]he near and the remote are yoked together” in the poems of Tanya Mendonsa (Prasad 104).
