In this episode of My Life with Poetry, we welcome Péter Závada – a Hungarian poet, playwright and lecturer, known for his distinctive voice at the intersection of poetry, theatre and contemporary thought.
Coming from a literary family, Závada’s path into poetry was anything but conventional. In conversation, he reflects on his unusual beginnings with poetry, the key influences that have shaped his work, and his approach to style, language, and writing practice. He also speaks candidly about his major achievements, the challenges he has faced along the way, and shares thoughtful advice for young and emerging poets navigating their own creative paths.
