This week’s show is a celebration of poetry and performance recorded in front of live audiences at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Contains Strong Language festival, on Gadigal land in Sydney, Australia.

First Nations poet Jazz Money talks to ABC’s Michael Cathcart about her new collection and a documentary film she’s been working on.

British Poet Laureate Simon Armitage explains what his unique literary role entails and there’s music from Australian singer-songwriter Paul Kelly.

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Ian McMillan shares the stage with spoken word performers L-FRESH The LION and Yleia Mariano, and chats to poets Eileen Chong and Omar Sakr.

We also hear from First Nations poets Nicole Smede, Daniel Browning, Lulu Houdini and Rob Waters at an event hosted by ABC’s Rudi Bremer.

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Contains Strong Language 2024 festival was in partnership with ABC and Red Room Poetry.
