In this episode, I interview Miriam Barnaby, A Slovak poet writing in English. Miriam is back by popular demand as she featured in my most popular podcast to date.
We discuss whether some of her poems are sensual in nature, or sexual. Who decides? Is it the writer; or the listener or reader?
Is it right that poems can be open to interpretation, without ever really knowing the intention of the author?
Miriam reads five of her poems which are all linked here - all available on her LinkedIn profile:
1. 'Vanam' - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/vanam-miriam-barnaby/
2. 'Mirman' - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mirman-miriam-barnaby/
3. 'Shaba' - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/shaba-miriam-barnaby/
4. 'MM' - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mm-miriam-barnaby/
5. 'Music' - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/music-miriam-barnaby
Comments can be made about each poem on the relevant article page on Miriam's LinkedIn profile using the links above. All opinions are appreciated.
