In this special episode, Luke Galea dialogues with the Poet Laureate Nadia Mifsud on Claudia Gauci’s Max-Xatt tat-Tamarisk (Kotba Calleja, 2022), the imagery this poetry collection evokes, the dialogues it provokes with the reader through all its titles presented as a question, and the way Gauci presents the woman.
Mifsud has published three poetry collections, a novel, Ir-rota daret dawra (kważi) sħiħa , Merlin Publishers, 2017), and a book of short stories, Żifna f'xifer irdum (Merlin Publishers, 2021), all of which bear out her recurring focus on the experience of womanhood, expressed in eloquent, but visceral, honesty.
