  Have A Kind Word With: Mohamed Saloo

  Jul 20, 202657 min

  “When you’ve got no one else to talk to, paper is a good listener.” This week I speak with the incredible writer, Mohamed Saloo. The words above make up title of one of his poems … and these words leapt out for me in our discussion. Among his many accolades, he is the co-founder of Batley Poets, and has published several poetry collections. In this wonderfully insightful chat, Mohamed also discusses writing process, the impact of poetry on his life, and his dreams for a kinder, more inclusive society. He advocates for the transformative power of a smile and - for all poets out there - he advises letting poems lead you! @saloomohamed @batleypoets Mohamed Saloo: https://mohamedsaloo.co.uk/ Batley Poets: https://batleypoets.co.uk/ Young Poet Laureate: https://nationalpoetrycentre.org.uk/projects/young-poet-laureate/ Rose’s website: www.rosecondo.net Rose’s website artwork is by Niamh Wood: www.etsy.com/shop/LittleBadgerArts Have A Kind Word With Yourself podcast music was composed and recorded by Eleonora Rosca: www.instagram.com/eleonorarosca
