Abstract

The poetic exuberance of Kalpana Singh Chitnis is eloquently expressed in Bare Soul weaved as a medley of love, passion, romance, separation and mysticism. One marvels at the creative imagination and the ease with which the poetess bares her soul. The poetry of Kalpna Singh Chitnis reminds us of Rumi’s conception of pure love, which is eternal, celestial and transcends the physical form, time and space. The perpetual feeling of love is heightened to the core with the juxtaposition of breath-taking love and poignant sadness. Her nostalgic deliverance of powerful emotions in Bare Soul has a mesmerizing appeal transcending time and space. Like a free bird, love that is spiritual and divine, soars high in the realms of skies and is limitless and set free without any bonds of fear or guilt. Love has the capacity to revive, regenerate and resurrect. In case of failure too, it is the love which emerges victorious. Like phoenix, it has the capacity to recreate and re-emerge even if it is reduced to rubble. The interplay of strings of powerful feelings associated with unfathomable love in its purest form in the silhouette of beautiful verse of Bare Soul is amazing.
