4 — Poet Talk about Law featuring Chimwemwe Undi

In the fourth episode of Poet Talk, Jody and Sanna talk to poet, linguist and lawyer Chim Undi about language. Why do adults tell certain kids to become lawyers? How do people find themselves in the world of spoken word poetry? From erasure poetry to text trajectory, Canadian court cases to poetry's penchant for uncertainty, the trio traverse interpersonal beliefs, linguistic axioms and the powerful presence of silence. Join us as we read poems by Donika Kelly, Danez Smith and Chim herself—and find out, maybe, how a practice of care may govern it all.*Cool Stuff Below! 🛍️🎙️ Noura Erakat on Centre Stage📕 Scientific Marvel by Chimwemwe Undi📘 The Renunciations by Donika Kelly❤️ Jenny Heijun Wills on life writing📝 "Black Voices Matter Too: Counter-Narrating Smithers v The Queen" by Dr. Amar Koday📗 Bluff by Danez Smith 📝 "A poem is not a revolution" from tilwefree's "the gurreilla is like a poet"💡 Grice's Maxims📝 "Property 101" by Chimwemwe Undi 📝 Terrance Hayes and American Sonnets❤️ Eduardo C.
