Abstract
This paper explores the presence of one of the integrals of Derrida’s différance
i.e. ‘to differ’ or dissolving the boundaries from the theme and textual techniques
of Michael Ondaatje’s selected poems. This integral has been investigated
through textual analysis in the paradigm of postmodernism especially différance.
Postmodernism is a model of rupture. The present research is qualitative in its
nature which tries to figure out how Ondaatje uses this integral to dissolve the
boundaries between husband and wife, man and nature, present and primitivism,
east (Ceylon) and U.S (Connecticut), prose and poetry in his poetry. Boundaries
are also dissolved through postmodern textual techniques i.e. parody, pastiche,
intertextuality, non-linear structure and multi-voiced narrative.
