In June 2017, at the Roundhouse in London, a group of talented young London poets aged 25 and under united to create ‘A Poem for London’ at Spread the Word’s Young People’s Laureate for London Poetry Lab. The group were inspired and supported by poets including Young People’s Laureate for London Caleb Femi, Sean Mahoney, Zia Ahmed, Theresa Lola and Jolade Olusanya.
