Description

Award-winning poet, performer and literacy champion Joshua Seigal presents an uplifting event for 7+ that's like pick-and-mix for your mental health.
With huge amounts of interaction, Josh performs warm, bouncy, reflective poems from his new collection, encouraging children to use language creatively on the spot and contribute to a new poem. Workshop attendees will get to luxuriate in the joy of words and learn to express themselves with confidence. 

Josh is a two-time Lollies winner and a recipient of the People's Book Prize. He is an energetic workshop lead and educator working to spread the joy of poetry in hundreds of schools nationwide. Josh's latest collection, I Tell Myself I'm Awesome, is the perfect book for both aspiring poets and kids who love to laugh. 2026 will also see the 10th anniversary of Josh's book I Don't Like Poetry.  

Tickets to all Young Readers events include a book signing after the show.
