In the eighth episode of Europe Readr Riveting Interview podcast series, journalist and presenter Rosie Goldsmith meets the Slovak linguist, translator, film theoretician and poet Mária Ferenčuhová.

She also translates prose, poetry and essays from French, as well as being the author and co-author of three scientific monographs on film and working extensively within the Slovak domestic film and documentary scenes. Her poetry resembles entries in a diary, through which she constantly records and describes her everyday life, emotional life, and experiences as a mother. Listen to the conversation to discover more about her work and the Europe Readr featured collection "Threatened Species".
