BBC Introducing Arts

Rhyme & Reason

Duration: 23 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC WORLD NEWS South AsiaLatest broadcast: on BBC WORLD NEWS Asia Pacific

Poet Lemn Sissay presents a selection of short, vibrant films from a new generation of artists who are inspired by poetry and the spoken word.

the labyrinth of the internet to early morning wake up calls.
As Sissay notes, “When you write a poem, part of the magic is that you never know where it’s going to take you”. Here then is a chance to meet
emerging artists who aren’t afraid to say what’s on their minds. Show less
