Wendy Morton is a believer in the power of poetry to make our society better. She works with Indigenous students, training them to be poets so they can retell and preserve their Elders’ stories as poems. She was also a founder of Random Acts of Poetry Day, which sees poets take to the streets and to schools across the country, sharing poems with anyone who crosses their path.
