Poetry in motion: Poetry with Ela Altinbas

<p>Bandofla is embracing poetry this week and looking back at World Poetry Day as we speak to one of the Poetry Society's newest members, a young poet from Tottenham, North London, Ela Altinbas.</p> <p>Bandofla gets an exclusive airing of her 'Stop Killing the Mandem' poem which is followed up with some lovely conversation and some awesome freestyle by Ela.</p> <p>We round up on some current affairs both here and abroad. Remember to follow us on Twitter @_Bandofla ... you can drop the show a voice message via our Anchor page and use the 60-second option to say absolutely anything you like (within reason!).</p> <p>Speaking with Ela Altinbas has been hugely uplifting and it makes me think again of the issue around how young a person should be to have the right to vote. Ela is a year 9 student - her wisdom and social conscience is, in my humble opinion outstanding.&nbsp;</p> <p>#Poetry #PoetrySociety #Mandem #Slang #Bandofla #AfricanTurks #Cyprus</p>
