Poetry Ambassadors representing the form

Every art form needs its champions. We've again invited some of the nation's favourite public figures who each hold a deep love of poetry to join our quest to bring poetry to all people during Poetry Month.

Six Poetry Month Ambassadors will amplify Poetry Month through sharing their own newly commissioned poems published as part of 30in30, sharing writing prompts and performing at events across the continent. We're thrilled to introduce our 2024 Poetry Ambassadors:

• Actor Heather Mitchell, currently starring in RBG: Of Many, One
• Author and poet Nam Le
• Mitch McTaggart, AWGIE-winning writer, producer and host of The Last Year Of Television
• Actor and writer Chika Ikogwe
• Lang Leav, poet and author
• James Colley, TV comedy writer, producer and author
