When writer-poet Punam Chadha-Joseph took to the pen, to give expression to the scale of emotions she went through in a single day, what emerged over time was a cyclical play of love,joy, wonder, peace, anger, courage, sadness, fear and even despair in varying intensities. Having always been forthright, outspoken and a nonconformist, conventional morality was open for debate as was gender stereotyping. The writer-poet??_s enquiry into matters philosophical and comical, culminated in The Soulful Seeker, a moving collection of poems that resonates our aspirations,hopes,longings and disappointments, and above all, our ever-changing notion of ideality. A delightful read indeed!
