The power of poetry: An interview with Zilka Joseph

Culturico's poetry and literature editor Gerfried Ambrosch sat down with award-winning poet Zilka Joseph to discuss her latest book, a collection of poems entitled In Our Beautiful Bones, as well as her journey both as a writer and as an immigrant to the United States. Her ethnic background as a member of Bene Israel, a 'lost' Jewish tribe in India, also comes up as a topic of conversation. Other topics include definitions of poetry, approaches to writing, and the transformational power of words.
