Working with Apples & Snakes, the "Spoken Word Trailblazers", Britain's Children's Laureate has chosen poems from ten debut poets, all from diverse/under-represented backgrounds. Selected for their qualities of originality, expression and style, they represent the best of a new generation of gifted young poets writing for children and young people. These are poems intended to be read aloud and shared. Themes range from video gaming to ice skating and football, hair, holidays, sisterhood, generational memories, friendship, the sense of self, personal experiences, music, and family life.
Fifty poems here open windows on a new generation's thoughts, dreams and desires, and on an exciting new wave of poetic talent.
The poets are Anneliese Amoah, Antoinette Brooks, Sadatu Futa, Eileen Gbagbo, Shagufta K. Iqbal, Gayathiri Kamalakanthan, Rowan Kiffin-Murray, Jay Sandhu, Ioney Smallhorne, and Jasmin Thien. Three new poems by Joseph Coelho are also included.
Joseph Coelho is a performance poet and playwright. His debut poetry collection Werewolf Club Rules won the CLPE CLiPPA Poetry Award 2015. As well as poetry, he also writes plays, picture books and non-fiction. His collection Overheard in a Tower Block was published by Otter-Barry Books in 2017 and was longlisted for the Carnegie Medal and shortlisted for the CLiPPA. The Girl Who Became a Tree was published in hardback in 2020 and was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and won the Bologna Ragazzi Award for Poetry. The follow-up, The Boy Lost in the Maze was published by Otter-Barry Books in October 2022. Joseph is a staunch ambassador for Britain's straitened public libraries. He lives in Kent. Joseph became the Waterstones Children's Laureate in 2022.
