Twitter Interview with Magdalena Ball

magdalenaball: Hi Gary, I'm here, and ready to roll. Shoot a question at me and I'll answer as best as I can.

qlcoach: Great! Welcome. Please introduce yourself to our friends on Twitter: G


magdalenaball: I'm Magdalena, writer, reviewer, mother, juggler. Author of Repulsion Thrust (poetry), Sleep Before Evening (fiction), and more.


magdalenaball: I'll talk Repulsion Thrust (latest). It's science inspired poetry: seeking answers to the human condition through Quantum Physics.


qlcoach: Very interesting. So how can we improve the "human condition"? G


magdalenaball: Poetry is rarely didactic. I'm not sure there are any improvement tips! I do believe in the power of art though on many levels


magdalenaball: What I will say is that I think poetry can often bridge the communication gulf. Getting from what I mean to what you hear is hard, and metaphor (cheating I know) can bridge that gulf instantly - like music, or visual art.

Mutual Twitter Interview (Part 1) with: Life Coach and author of ‘The Eby Way’ – Gary Eby

"I am delighted and happy to tell you that I met Gary Eby virtually on twitter and I have been fortunate to take his interview on twitter. Infact, it was a mutual interview, which means I took Gary’s interview and he took mine

It was a new experience for me as I had never participated in a mutual interview before, that too on twitter. To make things clear for you, I am posting the interview in two parts.

The first part of the interview is when Gary is being interviewed. In the second part I am being interviewed."
