Mona Mandouri {Writer} - Inside The Mind of a Poet

Who is Mona Mandouri? In her own words: "Hi, I am Mona. Most people
need a name for an introduction-maybe because they’re too lazy to
make one up themselves? I write. I always wrote. I made up bedtime
stories until my mom fell asleep. I freestyled about things I have
seen and fell in love with during the day. Most of the times I sung
them for hours on the toilet. Wich, I still love to do because the
acoustic in bathrooms make you sound so lovely. I was too scared to
do art. It always looked like a crucial, beautiful dangerous
draining solution for everything. Like heroin. That’s how I felt
about it. So I went into the creative industry. I became a
copywriter-for all sorts of clients around the world during the day
hours. I don’t know much about hours. Here I discovered that I
always was a writer. And that I have found my purpose a long time
ago without noticing. So every now and then, in the other hours, I
started to read out my poetry. Every now and then I’ll be part of
an art project, installation, design concept, songwriting, video
shoot and so on.  And I love it. Constantly willing and
devoted to express myself for me or for others. And the need to be
closer than physically close. Wanting to be in your head and heart
close, I guess makes me the writer and person that I am. And I
love roses for various reasons. Is that enough information ?"
