The Poetry Society is delighted to present the latest Young Poets Takeover at the second edition of the
Festival of Hope, a Versopolis Global Poetry Festival. This event will be headlined by four outstanding young writers who have won Young Poets Network challenges:
Natalie Linh Bolderston,
Jack Cooper, Matt Sowerby and Oluwaseun Matiluko. Each poet will be performing a set that speaks up against injustice, aligning with the 2021 Versopolis Festival’s theme of ‘speaking up’. The festival aims to address the situation in which humanity is facing a global revaluation of the ability to tell the truth, speak up and be heard.
