[Untitled]: A poem by Billie Meredith

Billie Meredith reads her poem on the theme of poverty.

As part of a week-long look at the causes of poverty in the UK, Afternoon Edition asked five spoken word poets aged between 20 and 25 from the Manchester collective Young Identity to share their experiences of poverty in the form of a specially written and performed poem.
