If Poets Ruled The World - 20.07.26 - Voices Radio

If Poets Ruled the World is hosted by Ruth Elora (The Mayfair Poet) and Salma the Poet. Each month, we explore a new theme and ask one radical question: What would it look like if poets ruled the world? Through honest conversation, cultural critique and original poetry, we reimagine the world through a lens of reflection, truth and imagination.

This episode explores borders, refugees and belonging with guest @mohasan92. Together, we examine colonial borders, displacement, media narratives and the biases that shape who we empathise with. Blending personal stories with poetry, we ask: Who do borders really protect? And if poets ruled the world, what would a more humane approach look like?

Content warning: This episode discusses forced displacement and migration. Support is available from the Refugee Council, Migrant Help and Citizens Advice.
