Birmingham has a new Poet Laureate in the form of Charlie Jordan. Here she is with the outgoing Laureate Spoz:
Charlie was born and raised in Birmingham and is proud to be part of Birmingham’s growing and thriving literary scene. She is a radio presenter currently presenting the late night show on Heart FM. She is passionate about poetry and has worked with and learned from past Birmingham Laureates. Charlie loves the fact that Birmingham has such a thriving poetry scene and wants to continue to spread that energy throughout the city.
