Created by Benjamin Zephaniah and developed by Sheffield’s favourite poetry mentor Vicky Morris of Hive South Yorkshire, the Youth Word Up! project is celebrating its tenth anniversary by inviting young people who have been involved through the years to perform their work. The young performers will be joined by Joelle Taylor, an award-winning poet and author of Songs My Enemy Taught Me.
