Poornima Gontiya is a poet and writer based in India who began her writing journey on various platforms, including, from 2019, later on the YourQuote platform in November 2022, not with a plan, but with a feeling too large to hold in silence.
Writing in both Hindi and English, she built a community of readers who recognized in her words the things they had been feeling but had never found language for. Her voice is honest before it is beautiful and true before it is polished, and that, more than anything, is why it lands.
Soul Talks is her debut poetry collection. Every word in it is hers. Every feeling was lived before it was written.
She believes that the most useful thing a writer can do is tell the truth. She has been doing exactly that, one poem at a time, ever since she decided the feelings were too important to stay locked.
She is currently working on her next collection.
