Joseph Roberts Makes Poetry Cool Again | Liverpool News

Twenty-two-year-old Joseph Roberts is revolutionizing poetry in the UK — turning ridicule into recognition and turning his Scouse roots into a superpower. After building a massive social media following with raw, powerful poems, he launched the first-ever UK poetry expo, All Ears, at the M&S Bank Arena. Featuring student workshops and a knockout poetry tournament, the event celebrated diversity, culture, and the unshakable power of voice. Inspired by Benjamin Zephaniah’s activist poetry, Joseph is determined to break down class barriers and prove that poetry belongs to everyone — from bricklayers to poets. With a new Liverpool FC poetry book on the way and his sights set on making poetry cool for all, Joseph’s mission is personal, powerful, and unstoppable.
