Why are more youth in the West turning to poetry?

Poetry is on the rise globally as the youth turn to it in a bid to make sense of an increasingly changing, fast-paced world.

In the United States, the number of poetry readers is at an all-time high.

In the United Kingdom, the market in poetry has grown by almost 50 percent over the last five years to more than $15m.

The largest consumers are women between the ages of 13 and 24.

Al Jazeera's Jessica Baldwin reports from London.
