It's poetry - so what?

from John Scott Lawton's English, you know ... · host John Scott Lawton

John Scott Lawton, English Language Coach, interviews Miriam Barnaby, Slovak poet, English Language Teacher and writer about what inspires her to create poetry in English. Is all poetry meant to be shared with others? Will poetry see a resurgence given the dramatic and beautiful oratory of Amanda Gorman's, 'The Hill We Climb' at President Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony? Was that poetry, prose, spoken word ... or does it not matter? Miriam's poems are deeply personal, sensual and layered ... revealing just a little more of themselves at each reading or listen. Hear Miriam read her own poems such as 'Release', 'Nails', 'Tea Shop' and 'Succinctly' and consider whether you have something you wish to say ... to yourself or others. John Lawton is an English Language Coach and Teacher, working online out of Bratislava, Slovakia. Having lived in many different countries, John has a rich and deep understanding of how the English Language can be used to unite and to divide us, in equal measure.
