There are people all over Australia learning to express themselves using poetry -and not the kind you learned in school. On All the Best, Maisie Cohen explores the world of spoken word poetry. She speaks to activists, community housing residents and prisoners all learning to use poetry to express their ideas. There are poems about fracking on the coast off Indigenous land, poems about disadvantage and racism, poems about human connection.
