Note sull'episodio

If Poets Ruled The World: The Podcast is hosted by Ruth Elora (also known as The Mayfair Poet) and Salma the Poet.

Each month, we explore a different theme and ask one radical question:

What would it look like if poets ruled it?

Through honest conversation, cultural critique and original poetry, we reimagine the world through a poetic lens. This month’s theme is International Women’s Day.

In this International Women’s Day episode of If Poets Ruled the World, Ruth Elora and Salma the Poet are joined by poet Chelsea to explore what it means to be a woman today. Through poetry and conversation, they reflect on safety, intersectionality, and the different realities women navigate across race, identity and experience.

Together, they also look ahead — asking what solidarity between women could look like in the future, and what kind of world poets might imagine for women.

Trigger warning: this episode includes discussions of sexual assault, domestic abuse, racism and sexism. If you need support, please find the different topics and relevant organisations which can help below.
