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.
