In this touching tribute to one of the important women in his life, spoken word poet Raymond Antrobus tells the story of a conversation he has with his grandmother as she reflects on her past and the lessons she has learnt in life.
It's a simply told lesson in the value of paying attention to those who are older than us, and a great poem to celebrate International Women's Day.
'Conversations With Grandma' is a new poem by London-based Raymond, who we featured recently in an original recording for Valentine's Day.
