This week, Mario and Twenty welcome poet and executive coach Juan Pabloe Mobili to the Expression Appraisal Table.
The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword is one of the longest-standing phrases in our culture. Does the might of the pen come from a political influence or simply an ode to the talent of a writer?
Watch as Mario and Twenty are joined by Argentinian poet and executive coach Juan Pablo Mobili to discuss the meaning and origin of The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword. Juan’s contributes his blend of political humor and way with words to connect his experience coming from Argentina’s political landscape with how much impact than pen truly has over the sword.
Poet Juan Pablo Mobili was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and adopted by New York a long time ago. His poems appeared most recently, in The American Journal of Poetry, Mason Street Review, Broadsided Press, The Red Wheelbarrow Review, and The Worcester Review among others. He has also received an Honorable Mention from the Creators of Justice Award by the International Human Rights Art Festival, as well as the Pushcart Prize and the Best of the Net nominations for 2020. In addition to this, he published a chapbook of poems in collaboration with Madalasa Mobili, Three Unknown Poets, published by Seranam Press. She currently lives in Rhinebeck, NY and travels to attend residences, give presentations, and teach. Juan just released his book of poems called Contraband.
