6/4/20267 min
Do you like to read poetry? When was the last time you heard someone recite a poem?

Poetry can help you connect with others, come to terms with personal emotions, or even spread the word about important global events. If you think poetry is not for you, perhaps you just haven't found the right poem yet! Neil and Pippa discuss this and teach you some new vocabulary.
