Petra Bauman: “A poem a month is enough.”

“A poem a day is enough, sometimes a poem a month is enough to be read“

Petra Bauman, a poet from Maribor is in the beginning of this summer on an art residency in Graz. She walked by the radio, knocked on the door and Gea invited her in the studio. Quickly they realised they share the same mother tongue.

Gea and Petra talk about life as a poet – the beauty of observing and getting inspired by people of Graz. Petra read her poetry in Slovenian language, as well as translated poems in English and German. Ladies agreed that not just talking but especially writing poetry is way more coming from your heart when being done in mother tongue.
