When she finishes reading, the audience starts asking her some questions. She expresses her opinions a little a bit about reading the translated version of her writings and poetry. She talks about her writings in English that are mostly songs and her ideas about what it feels like for her to write in English. She is also asked how she began poetry writing.
She gets to talks about her favorite types of book saying she is also interested in reading scientific books besides biology, anthropology, sociology books since they would be the nourishment for her brain to write poetry.
