Hör hur vår Bokcirkel med författarna Frida Nilsson och Lars Gustafsson tolkar naturkatastrofen i sjumilaskogen. Hör också hur de med stor entusiasm gör om slutet på A.A. Milnes mästerverk, Nalle Puh. - Tar ni livslögnen från en människa så tar ni lyckan av honom med detsamma. Så lyder en klassisk replik i Henrik Ibsens pjäs Vildanden. Ja, hur är det nu?

Till sin hjälp har hon teaterregissören Anna Pettersson, aktuell med sin föreställning av Vildanden på Dramaten i Stockholm.   -  Om jag berättar för folk i mataffären i New York att jag är poet, så tror de att jag är galen.

Det säger Meena Alexander, turligt nog både poet och professor i engelska och kreativt skrivande i New York. Från början kommer hon från Kerala i Indien, hon har levt ett kringflackande liv, och nyss var hon på Sverigebesök. Vår reporter Naila Saleem träffade henne för att prata om hennes poesi.
