Poet Sujata Bhatt, who was born in India but grew up in the United States and had her education in Germany, writes on the connections between literature, diaspora, and memory. In particular, she uses several poetic voices (personae) that span countries, languages, and identities. Bhatt employs a variety of poetic techniques, including intertextual and intermedial approaches, in her most recent book, Pure Lizard [Bhatt, S. 2008. Pure Lizard. Manchester: Carcantet]. Using Stuart Hall's concept of diaspora as a jumping off point, I argue that Bhatt's most recent poetry collection explores a poetics of diasporic transformation through the renegotiation and appropriation of W.E.B. Du Bois's term, 'double consciousness,' as she draws on the idea of the individual who is characterised by multiple, often conflicting identities. So, I will examine how Bhatt's works and her wider poetic effort simultaneously resolve and re-enact the uneasy situation of her own and her personae's uprooted cultural identities.
