The poet, labelled “the Polish Sappho,” comes to the studio to share about reading poetry aloud and to an audience. Not in a slam poetry event or a poetry competition, but to hear the sonics of the written word and in the company of others. We ask her about poetry and poetry reading in a global culture dictated by sms-speak, Instagram and emoticons, where (visual) images matter more than cleverly crafted verbal imagery.
