Great interview!
Very enjoyable interview. My first introduction to this man, thanks for using this platform to disseminate great ideas and thoughts!
Excellent! Thank you both
Young man, you come across as wanting to ask smart questions and to say clever things. It's making for a conversation that doesn't seem very in the moment. Listen more. Ask him a question and let him go on with his answer!
Love Guite’s work and expression except for being so down on Steiner and Anthroposophy - what’s that about?
You are not alone (literally) Mr guite, 'there are no gods' poem dh Lawrence has similar to say
Dr
Surprisingly... I got the opposite impression than debalona... I perceive the interviewer (Golgonooza) is trying to obtain some light on the theme he has in mind...
However it appeared to me that the interviewed (Malcolm Guite) seems not to be able to give himself chance to listen and to hear what is it needed from his abundant poetic or espiritual experience to provide clarification on...
Again, I wish the interview would have had a rather more balanced relation between both subjects. There is not. Malcolm seems to have this uncontrollable need to utter his own thoughts, annihilating thus the chance to be asked...
I am sorry to disagree with debalona, but an interview isn´t a soliloqui. I have not witnessed an example of self restrain in a speaker who overwhelms an audience with his own expressive needs, in spite of the need to listen to the questions an Other, or someone else, needs to ask...
Might it be that the priest acted more like a preacher than as a poet who concurs in an act of reflection to collect the truths in the air of communication ??
Be it as it may, the video shows Golgonooza was a nice and patient listener... Good for him !!
Interviewing is an art. Good interviewers serve, work with, accept the guest for who they are; which does not mean not push the guest, but doing so with a degree of self awareness, humility, wonder.
If it's a conversation one is after, with back and forth, then maybe latter not best format for this particular coupling.
Oranges give orange juice, cats meow, preachers preach, professors profess. With preachers and professors, it's about the art of the question. If you don't have a heart thought question, best to shut up and listen. Or try to listen.
Such a frustrating interview, since the interviewer keeps inserting himself in everything and talking about himself. Ask a question, then sit back and listen without mumbling “mmm...”’or similar. We’re here to listen to the person being interviewed, not to you.
If you’d like you can purchase some of Malcolm’s books and cut out the middle man. I recommend them highly.
