Nathan supports Len Pennie

We’re so proud of Rotherham Young Writer Nathan Graham, who at just 16 supported acclaimed Scots poet Len Pennie at a Spread the Word event via our awesome partners Flux Rotherham on 15th May.

We’re always incredibly proud to see Hive young writers stepping onto stages alongside established performers and sharing their work with new audiences. Nathan was a winner of the Foyle Young Poets 2025.

Two other support poets, Hafsah Awan and Nicky Rogers joined Nathan and Len at Grimm & Co as part of the event. You can find out more about Spread the Word here.

A huge thanks to Flux Rotherham for platforming emerging young voices and supporting Hive’s work in Rotherham and beyond.
