[17:05] We hear an excerpt from My Voice by Priya about her adoption.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Priya decided to write about her journey of finding out she was adopted as an adult as a way to find closure after her parents had passed away. Her story is fantastic for those who have been adopted or for people who are considering adoption.
Anand feels that poetry really has to embrace the moment and be very short and brief and make its statement in a short space.
