    Abstract

    This paper demonstrates with the expatriate poems of Fleur Adcock, who is a renowned British poet. Adcock is a poetess of variation, so, writes poems having different themes. But this research focuses only at her expatriate poems because not much research work has been done on her expatriate poems. Also, her poems deal with the diaspora and identity crisis. The reason for only choosing the theme identity crisis for this research is that, no poets of her time have written poems on such theme. Adcock being a part of settler colonies, faces more identity crisis because it is engrained in her through the process of settler colonialism.
