“Good spoken word utilises aural tools to make the work sound a specific way - the use of alliteration, rhyme, onomatopoeias, repetition, tone and speed of delivery makes it particularly beautiful and interesting to listen to.” ~ Candy Royalle In this episode, Red Room Poetry Senior Project Manager - First Nations, Nicole Smede, highlights poems from the archives that showcase the power of language as storyteller, and the importance of language in its many forms. In this episode 'Waŋa Marrkapmirr,' by Melanie Mununggurr 'Threading Battle Lines', by Candy Royalle 'Muru Nunga Mai (Dreaming track)', by Lorna Munro 'Grief', by Hope One 'Ban Maganindadjyang (My Old People Done)', by Jacob Morris If a poem was a room you could walk into, whose voices might you hear?
