"The Curse of Kehama, Volume 2 (of 2)" by Robert Southey is an epic poem set in a world of mythology where the lives of Kailyal and her father, Ladurlad, are shaped by curses and gods. The poem follows their journey through trials brought about by Kehama, a powerful figure whose decisions greatly affect them. The story begins by showing Kailyal and her father in a peaceful forest, contemplating their difficult situations and destiny. The scene quickly becomes chaotic when Yoguees interrupt their peace, kidnapping Kailyal to become a bride for their god Jaga-Naut.

Summary
About the AuthorRobert Southey was an English poet of the Romantic school, and Poet Laureate from 1813 until his death. Like the other Lake Poets, William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Southey began as a radical but became steadily more conservative as he gained respect for Britain and its institutions. Other romantics such as Byron accused him of siding with the establishment for money and status. He is remembered especially for the poem "After Blenheim" and the original version of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears".
