To the Brink

March 4, 2025

Four poets on old stories, cultural memory, and minority languages.

Producer Helena de Groot talks to poets about language, dreams, love and loss, identity, connection, anger, discomfort, the creative process, the state of the world and the world of the soul. Hard conversations are welcomed—laughter is, too.
