Sinopsis
America's youth poet laureate Amanda Gorman recently reminded us of the intersection between the political and the personal, and the power of poetry to express this. This was something that resonated with Australia's wartime prime minister John Curtin, who read poetry every Sunday evening and declared it 'good for the soul'. Not only was poetry a great love for Curtin, it informed his politics, prose and even his relationships.
