The podcast episodes explore how Indigenous writers, particularly those from the Pacific Islands, use poetry as a vehicle for political speech, environmental advocacy, and personal therapy.

The episode The Promise of Multispecies Justice discusses how the poetry of authors like Craig Santos Perez serves as an inspiration for the concept of multispecies justice, which examines questions of justice across species lines.

In the episode Craig Santos Perez: Poetry as therapy and political speech, Perez himself discusses how he uses poetry to explore his Chamorro identity, resist the militarization of Pacific islands, and find healing through creative expression.
