For more than a decade, the Barbican Young Poets programme has served as a space for experimentation, creative development and an ever-extending community of poetic practice. The Art of Turning Possible collects and celebrates work produced by poets of the 2025 cohort. A vivid field of questions and visions. Poems that reckon with memory, identity and power, that navigate the space between personal history and the urgencies of the present. Whether tracing the shimmer of stained glass or the silence of whispering snowfall, these poems fracture and reassemble language - restless, inventive, alive.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Jacob Sam-La Rose is a poet, educator and editor. His enthusiasm for using poetry as a tool for education and interaction has made him a renowned and inspirational figure in the poetry and educational communities alike. A consultant for creative writing and literature, Sam-La Rose has run workshops and held residencies internationally at hundreds of schools and other institutions and has facilitated programmes for poets and writers of all ages.
He has described himself as the product of a post-colonial Caribbean work ethic passed down from his mother, something that has morphed into his own rigorous professional drive. It is this generosity of spirit and collectivist outlook that sets him apart from many other poets and performers Sam-La Rose is an active, participatory force in the literary world whose dedicated efforts to include young people in the practice and possibilities of poetry have touched many.
