Share dreams about possible impossibilities in this live stream from Hay Festival with
Joseph Coelho, award-winning poet and author, in his final festival appearance
as UK Waterstones Children’s Laureate. Joseph talks about how he has travelled
all over the country (and beyond!) as the Children’s Laureate to inspire
everyone in becoming poets and storytellers. Joseph’s poetry creates all sorts
of other worlds, with wild ideas and unforgettable images. He shares tips for
writing your own stories and performs some of his own humorous and inventive
poems.
