Abstract
This interview with contemporary poet and historian Cristina A. Bejan, conducted over email, examines several contemporary meanings of 21st-century poetry through a personal lens. The interview starts from Bejan’s academic work and continues with her creative work, focusing on her ‘spoken word’ in the volume Green Horses on the Wall, published in 2020 and translated in Romanian this year. Notions such as memory, trauma, affect that represent the core of Bejan’s poetry are explained by the poet in relation to her poetics.
