What a beautiful way to describe poetry as a little gift. As if you're whispering. I'm reading his work Coming Through Slaughter, it's fragmentally beautiful, all his words in this interview now make his work read that much brighter.
Poetry is like whispering, to the soul or somebody. And all starts with an image. This is really inspiring. So glad I could watch this and am all set to start one more exciting reading.
You are a living legend of the world of creativity today. He must have been awarded with the Nobel Prize for Literature long ago but once again........
04mscentrum I'd read all his books-some, many times over, to shreds. THE ENGISH PATIENT is a fav...glad I have the paperback edition with the Original illustration...not the movie photo.A brilliant author, who also seems quite thoughtful and kind, and not in love with himself.Primarily a poet, I still keenly identified with his fiction and poetry writing comments.Lovely talk!
At 60 I know that it's so important that one is influenced by someone great in a person to person context...so that if that event never really takes place then one kinda manufactures or amplifies a set of surrogate experiences to take its place.
I had never even heard of Michael Ondaatje until I heard him mentioned by John Irving when he was having a virtual interview about his own novel, The Last Chairlift.
Interesting style of interview, where we never see the interviewer or hear the questions. It doesn't cause any serious problems in this case, but I'm curious about it. Perhaps it's a reaction against exhibitionistic interviewers.
"a community as opposed to one voice" This one statement leaves us all with many lessons. Indeed a beautiful description of the writing process.
