Born in 1966 on 29th July, Poonam Matia is the third child of Lt. Mrs Maina Gupta and Mr S.L. Gupta. Schooling and upbriging was done in Karol Bagh, New Delhi. Since childhood she has been a bright student, always in good books of the teachers. Among two daughters and three sons, Poonam nee Pinki is the only child who has taken generic urdu and shayri likings of grand parents(who hailed from Rawalpindi and Lahore, pre independent)and her father. Graduation and further studies were done from Lady Irwin College, Delhi university. She was among the 16 chosen ones who won Junior Research Fellowship from ICAR.
Studies kept her occupied till marriage. Marriage to a civil engineer Naresh Matia in 1988 was a turning point in her life. Poetry took its growth from there onwards.

Poonam Matia, who has been a PGT Home Science and a tutor of Science, English and Mathematics since long, MSc, BEd, and MBA by academic qualification, had keen interest in reading, be a text book or fiction. Gradually, this light interest shifted to writing short verses, skits and articles.
It’s quite astonishing to see the improvement rather magical unfolding in her writing which very clearly showcases the aroma of Ganga-Jamuni cult. She hasn’t been a student of Urdu in any part of her life and Hindi as academics was also limited to middle school levels only. But her interest in Urdu made her learn basics after the marriage of her daughter i.e. just two years back.
Her three, poetry collections viz. ‘Swapn Shringaar’ ‘Armaan’ and ‘Abhi to Sagar Shesh Hai….’ have been welcomed with open arms by the readers, which comprised of beautiful, emotional, life exemplifying compositions with more of romantic flavour. Using simple language, her writings reaches depths and heights of human relations with which the readers of all ages, both sexes are able to identify with. Her poetry has a music, a sing-song emotive connotation that can be experienced only when we go deeper and sway with her words picturised in different short and long compositions. The third collection includes a few qata’t (4 liners) and ghazals, too. Besides these three solo collections, her work has also been included in five joint poetic collections namely -‘Stri hokar swaal karti hai …’.and ‘Apne Apne Sapne’, ‘Tuhin’, Jahane-ghazal’ and ‘Kavita Anavarat’ . All being in Hindi except Jahaan-e-ghazal which has come up in Urdu.
Her books have come from pan India viz Abohar (Punjab), Bikaner(Rajasthan), Jaipur(Rajasthan) , Ghaziabad and Amroha(UP),and three from New Delhi.
Writing has been a passion which has taken a color of profession, too with passing years. Not only in Hindi but in English, too Poonam Matia writes equally well though her work in English has still not taken the shape of a book.
She has been participating in various poetic meets in Delhi and around with her entirely a different style of reading and delivering the content poems. Over Past three years she has been on various reputed stages for poems and ghazals. Slowly but steadily she has gained name in Mushayeras and kavi sammelans.
