It’s National Poetry Day 🎉

Today we’re celebrating Carousel’s learning disabled poets, Yassin, Joel, Stuart, Susannah and Charlie.

Writing about everything from nature to mouldy fridge ingredients, each poet has their own unique style.

Recently, they performed as the Pop-Up Poets at Brighton Fringe, and their work also featured in our exhibition, Postcards From My Seaside Town.

We can’t wait to see what they get up to next. Find out more about the poets at carousel.org.uk/spoken-word
