In Poets on Poets, poets don’t dive into their own work, but into the mind of another poet.
Of course, we’re curious about how a poem comes into being, and how your favourite poet thinks about inspiration, form, and meaning. But this time, we’re not asking the questions. Following a ‘fly on the wall’ approach, we listen in on a conversation between poets. Revealing for both the audience and the poets themselves.
Guided by moderator Geoffrey van der Ven, poets from different countries question each other about their creative practice, their ways of thinking, and everything they’ve always wanted to ask a fellow poet.
From unexpected career turns to small, persistent habits. About rules, breaking them, and the many joys and challenges of being a poet, and what grows from that.
The poets in conversation are Lynthia Julius & Jörgen UNOM Gario.
