Performing Poetry Promoting Progress

In-your-face performances of poetry take centre stage in ‘100 Thousand Poets for Change 2016’. Our guest tells why the written word can be persuasive, more so when it is performed often by people who are not necessarily performers but who are honestly trying to share an ideal.
