Are the Kids Alright?

Vanessa Kisuule unearths the poems that speak to the big issues we are grappling with. This week, it's raising teens

How might we equip kids for a future, that we adults are struggling to get our heads around? In this media-saturated, politically-divided, ecologically threatened landscape, how can we raise resilient, happy children? And what, if anything, can poetry do to help us along the way?

With poets Matthew Guenette, Jackie Kay and Steven Camden (aka Polar Bear), Valerie Kinloch, author of June Jordan: Her Life and Letters... and some obliging kids.
