This event is a closed school event.

Joseph Coelho is an award-winning performance poet, playwright and children’s author. His books include the critically acclaimed Luna Loves… series, If All The World Were, and the CLiPPA-shortlisted collection of poems, Overheard in a Tower Block. He was the Children’s Laureate: 2022-24, part of which he spent visiting and joining 213 libraries to highlight the hugely important role that they play.

“I have visited libraries in every library authority in the UK: from large Carnegie libraries to tiny libraries in converted one-bedroom flats, on buses and even bikes.”

This event is part of The Heath Bookshop Literature & Music Festival and is supported by National Lottery Grants Funding through Arts Council England.
