We Sew Our Stories: The Poetry Society’s Young Poets Takeover
Festival of Hope 2
Young Poets Takeovers are The Poetry Society’s space for young poets and performers to share their work. This Takeover will be headlined by four outstanding young writers who have won Young Poets Network challenges: Fathima Zahra, Jack Cooper, Matt Sowerby and Oluwaseun Matiluko. Each poet will be performing a set that speaks up against injustice. There will also be an open mic for any young poet worldwide aged 14-25 to share their work. Come along and discover poetry’s rising stars!
