In this episode, We continue our conversation with Hans Hans Balmes and begin by reading Traveling Together by W S Merwin. Traveling together is at once a poem about love and separation. We talk about how Merwin’s life and poetry are connected and what makes him relatable. There is beautiful part about similarities between the lives of Merwin and John Berger. We talk the gnarly exercise of putting a book together. Hans is currently in process of publishing german translation of Merwin's poetry.
