Transcripció oficial de l’àudio

Interviewer: Welcome to our weekly programme on literature. Today we’re going to discuss a relatively recent development in literature, a poetry slam. A poetry slam is a competition arts event in which poets perform before a live audience and a panel of judges. Slams have become increasingly popular all around the world, with events welcoming a large number of attendees. My guest Anne is here with us today to tell us about her experience as a slammer. Hi, Anne! Could you tell us about yourself? Would you define yourself as a poet?

Anne: What a nice question! I had never been asked that! The truth is that I have always loved writing. I’ve got my notebook with me all the time —whether it’s by the side of my bed or on trains, I always scribble things down, although I don’t type that often. In fact, there’s a suitcase full of poems beneath my bed. I don’t remember how most of them got there. Sometimes I’ll thumb through them and see my messy little-kid handwriting. There may be over a hundred pages stained with dirty hands and the remains of more than a few grilled cheese sandwiches.

Interviewer: When did performance jump in? Why did you start taking part in poetry slam competitions?

Anne: I first saw a live slam competition in 2018. I’d never heard of this kind of event, but I saw it was advertised in a magazine. After attending a few sessions, I got completely hooked on it and decided to give it a try from stage. I think what I liked about it was that emphasis on connection. Whether it’s a performer making you laugh or making you cry, there’s a certain live element to that. You know, I’ve got videos online and you can see me perform from any device, but it’s different when it’s live. In a live context you can immediately get what the performer’s trying to say and there’s an added level of accessibility, because the person who’s written the poem is in front of you, saying it, and it gives it so much more context.

Interviewer: You have a degree in Maths, if I’m not wrong. Has that helped you with your poetry?

Anne: Yeah! For ages I told myself that the two were just separate worlds, but then I realised that when I’m writing my poems or searching for a particular way of phrasing something or a rhyme, there is definitely a technicality to it. It’s not as rigid as a formula that I have to follow, but I think I’ve really embraced the idea of patterns and playfulness that I learnt through maths. I try to bring that to my poetry.

Interviewer: Tell us about slam poems. What are they like and how do you prepare for them?

Anne: There is a time limit in poem performances –we typically have a maximum of three minutes. I used to just write my poems as a hobby in my free time, so from start to finish it would be a couple of months, maybe, waiting for inspiration to come. Now I think that I do it full time, I’m a bit more disciplined with that, so it’s anything from a couple of weeks to much longer. It’ll often start with a playful bit of language, whether that’s a rhyme or a one-liner, and then it just comes out.

Interviewer: And you need to memorise the whole poem for live performances?

Anne: Yes, but that’s something I’ve always done. I was always good at remembering the lyrics to songs or specific jokes that I heard. As part of my writing process, I’ll speak poems out loud to feel their rhythm. The first time I perform, I’ll still have it in my book in front of me just in case, but I think once I’ve learnt a poem, I enjoy the performance aspect of it and I find that easier if I can do it without worrying about what the next line’s going to be.

Interviewer: And then in the event a panel of three to five judges gives each slammer a score, is that right? What is your secret to score high?

Anne: Yes, that’s right. Usually, the panel is selected randomly from the audience in the room. A good idea to score higher is to read the room to choose the poem you’re going to perform, because it’s a live thing, you know, so it’s dependent on who’s in the room. It’s also helpful to have enough poems so that you can pick and choose among them.

Interviewer: Are there any tips you’d like to give people who perhaps want to get into spoken word poetry?

Anne: Don’t get too nervous if you decide to try. The audience at these events is usually very supportive. Sometimes it can be difficult to feel confident, but it’s really worth it. Try open mic nights first if you think that could be helpful before getting into a competition. Watch videos online of some of the best slammers worldwide to prepare yourself, like Harry Baker’s, Dani Orviz’s, or Emi Mahmoud’s –they are a true source of inspiration!

Interviewer: Wow! I’m looking forward to watching those videos myself! Thank you, Anne, for your time and for letting us know about poetry slam. We hope to see you on stage very soon!

Anne: My pleasure.

SHE WAS SOLD TO A STRANGER SO HER FAMILY COULD EAT AS AFGANISTAN CRUMBLES

Parwana Malik, a 9-year-old girl with dark eyes and rosy cheeks, giggles with her friends as they play jump rope in a dusty clearing. But Parwana’s laughter disappears as she returns home, where she’s reminded of her fate: she’s being sold to a stranger as a child bride.

The man who wants to buy Parwana says he’s 55, but to her, he’s “an old man” with white eyebrows and a thick white beard. She worries he will beat her and force her to work in his house. But her parents say they have no choice. For four years, her family has lived in an Afghan displacement camp in the northwestern Badghis province, surviving on humanitarian aid and menial work earning a few dollars a day. But life has only gotten harder since the Taliban took power in Afghanistan.

As international aid dries up and the country’s economy collapses, they’re unable to afford basic necessities like food. Her father already sold her 12-year-old sister to someone else several months ago. Parwana is one of many young Afghan girls sold into marriage as the country’s humanitarian crisis deepens. Hunger has pushed some families to make heartbreaking decisions, especially as the brutal winter approaches. “Day by day, the numbers are increasing of families selling their children,” said Mohammad Naiem Nazem, a human rights activist in Badghis. “Lack of food, lack of work, and the families feel they have to do this.”

Abdul Malik, Parwana’s father, can’t sleep at night. Ahead of the sale, he’s “broken” with guilt, shame and worry. He had tried to avoid selling her and his wife resorted to begging other camp residents for food. But he felt he had no choice if he wants to feed his family. “We are eight family members”. “I have to sell to keep other family members alive.” The money from Parwana’s sale will only sustain the family for a few months, before Malik has to find another solution, he said.

Parwana said she hoped to change her parents’ minds—she had dreams of becoming a teacher, and didn’t want to give up her education. But her pleas were futile.

On October 24, Qorban, the buyer, who only has one name, arrived at her home and handed 200,000 Afghanis (about $2,200) in the form of sheep, land and cash to Parwana’s father. Qorban didn’t describe the sale as a marriage, saying he already had a wife who would look after Parwana as if she were one of their own children. “(Parwana) was cheap, and her father was very poor and he needs money,” Qorban said. “She will be working in my home. I won’t beat her. I will treat her like a family member. I will be kind.”

Since the Taliban’s takeover, stories like Parwana’s have been on the rise. Though marrying off children under 15 is illegal nationwide, it has been commonly practiced for years, especially in more rural parts of Afghanistan. And it has only spread since August, driven by widespread hunger and desperation. The problem is particularly acute for Afghan girls, who have stayed home and watched their brothers return to secondary school since the Taliban takeover. The Taliban said it is working on a plan to allow girls to return too, but have not said when that could happen or what conditions may be imposed. The uncertainty combined with rising poverty has pushed many girls into the marriage market. And once a girl is sold as a bride, her chances of continuing an education or pursuing an independent path are close to zero.

In my opinion, young people in our country stay with their parents for longer mainly for economic reasons, although cultural factors also play a part.

The first and most important reason is the cost of housing. Rents are very high and salaries, especially for those who have just finished their studies, are low. In addition, many young people only find temporary contracts, so they cannot count on a stable income.

A second reason is cultural. In Southern Europe, family ties are traditionally strong, and living together is seen as normal rather than as a failure. Parents often provide meals and emotional support, so young people feel no urgency to become independent.

To sum up, although tradition matters, I believe that the lack of affordable housing and stable jobs is what keeps young people at home.

Hello, travellers! Planning a holiday can be stressful, but a few simple ideas will help you enjoy every minute of your free time.

First, decide what kind of trip you really want. Do you need to relax on a beach, or would you rather explore a new city? Talk it over with your companions before booking.

Second, set a realistic budget and keep a little money for unexpected costs.

Third, do not plan every hour. Two or three things you really want to see are enough; leave the rest of the day free to wander around, try local food and talk to people. Some of my best memories come from places I found by accident.

Finally, switch off your phone from time to time and enjoy the moment.

I believe that governments should encourage COVID-19 vaccination rather than make it compulsory.

First of all, a vaccine is a medical intervention, and individuals have the right to decide what happens to their own bodies. Forcing people to be vaccinated may violate that principle, and it could also increase distrust in public institutions.

Furthermore, there are effective alternatives. Clear information campaigns and trusted doctors explaining the benefits can persuade hesitant people, because trust usually convinces more people than threats.

Admittedly, supporters of compulsory vaccination argue that it protects vulnerable people and helps hospitals to cope. This is a serious concern; however, a rule that many citizens resist is difficult to enforce, and punishments rarely change deeply held opinions.

To conclude, convincing people is slower than forcing them, but it builds the trust and cooperation that any future health crisis will require.
