In today’s episode, we talk about poetry. ¿Poetry? You may wonder what it has to do with activism and all the most pressing problems we face as humanity. Apparently, it is way more connected than we usually think.

“The environmental abuses we perpetrate worldwide are largely the result of poetry starvation” (David Steindl Rast)

To dive into this topic, Maite Moreno Ugartemendía interviews Kim Rosen, an award-winning poet, and a spoken word artist. She is the author of “Saved by a Poem: The Transformative Power of Words”, the book that inspired this wonderful conversation. She delights listeners with the power of poetry as a transformative agent for individuals and communities.

We talked about passion, vocation, authenticity, and matching inner experience and outer expression. Kim told us about her journey to become an activist, founder, and director of the Safe House Education Fund, which supports Maasai girls in Kenya.
