Poetryzine Magazine presents the book of interviews with world poets by Dr Ana Stjelja, published by the Ukiyoto Publishing


Canadian publishing house the Ukiyoto Publishing has just published a book titled “Modern Talks on Poetry: interviews with world poets” by Dr Ana Stjelja.


Before the readers of this book are 25 interviews with renowned poets from all over the world, of all generations.


Editor's Note:


The book Modern Talks on Poetry was created as a result of my journalistic work in the period from 2019 to 2022. The interviews published in this book are selected interviews I conducted with contemporaries, poets from all over the world, which were published in the mentioned period in the English magazine The Poet, the American magazine Agape Review and the Serbian magazines Poetryzine and Alia Mundi.

What particularly inspired me to publish this book is the idea that poetry played a very significant role during the pandemic, primarily in a psychological sense, because many people turned to writing poetry during the lockdown, as a kind of creative therapy. At the same time, I was interested in how poets see the future of poetry, bearing in mind the digital age and the ever-present transhumanism.

On this occasion, I would like to thank all those fellow poets who gave me an interview and talked with me about some interesting topics related to the nature of poetry, its role and importance in their life and generally for the humankind. With this book, I would like to pay tribute to poetry as a unique form of artistic and linguistic expression and to all the poets of this world.
