What Does Poetry Mean To You?

Poetry has been around for thousands of years in various forms and languages. Poetry can be found in every culture and continent, and has the power to resonate with people and effect change. What is it that makes poetry a form of expression that speaks to people, while also intimidating others? To commemorate World Poetry Day (21st March), we speak to poet educator Sheena Baharudin to talk about all things poetry.
