Twilight Zone (Poems)

A well-known poet, author, educationist and an environmentalist, Pradeep Joshi was born in Simla in the early fifties. Had taught in the Department of English Himachal Pradesh University before venturing into the commercial world. A prolific poet touching, personifying realms of mythopoeic myriad forms of nature. His spectrum colours vast spans of aspects, functional at various levels of human consciousness and those beyond it. His poems offer a varied fare from Gods expectations and travesty thereof by man's lust, greed culminating in the destructive nature of modern civilisation, to spiritual, mythological psychological poems. He masters the art of composing dramatic poems in which the inner archetypal reality of the poet is projected through surreal hypnagogic telling images. His nature poems embody the poet's moods and participation mystique, mediumistic relationship with nature. While his recent experimentation with romanticism highlights the special talent he has been gifted with. His contribution towards various national social causes are also well documented. Visions, Natures Nodes are few of his popular creations besides half a dozen other co-authorship anthologies which mark his presence in the literary world.
