Question: Good poets that deal with modern day issues!?
Does anyone know of any poets that deal with modern day issues, particularly with young people!? I'm looking for some good, in depth poems that talk about issues for girls growing up eg!. the media, stereotypes, body image, consumerism, school, part time jobs, friends, family!.!.!.!.

ANYTHING to do with modern day issues would be fabulous =)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Chris Abani!.

I believe his work is relevant!. He did a recent interview with Andrew Denton in Australia!. If you google both these names you can read it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
