*Oh My God! the Bible is responsible for the publishing industry??*

Introducing a series of 21 days of free-talking, sometimes with a plan, discovering the first five minutes of a conversation will show you where it’s heading towards. Bonnie talks about religion and biblical references and images in today’s art in this episode, reading her poem “flame on fire” to showcase one of her many examples including writing on the devil/hell/heaven/jesus, more visual references including an analysis of Bones And All, we always have told stories and forwarded them with people retelling them with their own sight of it, and how every piece of art is being interpreted differently; there’s no way to determine what’s right or wrong, especially when the author, ‘the creator’, has been dead for centuries. This episode is part two of a three-part series discussing religion as its concept. Here’s part one, and here’s the next and final part. Bonnie also mentions a poem called “woman with no appetite” due to its refrences, you can listen to a more depth podcast episode on it and read the poem here.
