Joseph Coelho
Joseph Coelho is a British poet and children’s author who grew up in Roehampton in South West London. He originally studied archaeology at university, acquiring an insight into different historical periods which has influenced some of his writing. Alongside publishing various collections of children’s poetry including Overheard in the Tower Block, illustrated by Kate Milner, he has written a number of picture books in collaboration with illustrator Allison Colpoys, which explore themes such as grief as well as encourage children to use their libraries. He has also toured the UK performing his poetry live.
