Hi, I’m Adukeh the Poet, I’ve been writing and performing for over 10 years now and I absolutely love it!

Although I started writing poetry from a young age, it’s taken me a while to get up and share my writing. Now, sharing poems in front of a crowd is one of my favourite things to do. I run workshops and events to pass on that love and support others.

Poetry means many things to many people.

For me, poems are a safe place to discover, explore and express feelings and emotions.

I’ve discovered that my poems can be a shelter for others,
a place to explore the difficult, overwhelming and uncomfortable.

I love to write poems that make a difference, poems that observe life and give life. Poems that express my Christian faith.

Poetry and performance

Apart from sharing my experiences of beauty, pain, and healing, my vision is to inspire, empower and heal through my poetry – I write to change lives.

It is a call to myself to break out beyond my own limitations and live the ‘one and only precious life’ God has given me to the full. It’s a call to you too.

Watch my performance at the Unveiling Festival.
