Joseph Roberts is an 18 year old Spoken Word Artist/Poet from Liverpool. He currently studying at John Moores University studying English Literature & Creative Writing. He has performed on BBC Radio Merseyside earlier and has accumulated thousands of views from his videos through various social media platforms. He has now been going into schools and providing poetry workshops in the community. He writes passionately about identity, mental health, masculinity, the environment and the harsh reality of the capitalist world surrounding us. His style of poetry breaks stereotypes, tests the ethics and morals of the audience through philosophical concepts and nuance perspectives. His poems are simply spoken out loud and simply displayed on the page, yet full of complexity for those who desire to listen carefully and read deeper.
