Link-Up Poetry Special 

Who is Adisa the Verbaliser?

Adisa is a London-based poet who has performed across the UK and overseas. He has been a Hackney Poet Laureate and a winner of ‘New Performance Poet of the Year’. 

Here is a bit more about Adisa:

Adisa was born with a silver tongue and a head full of rhymes. He exploded onto the spoken word scene in 1993. 

His mango-flavoured metaphors and his larva-fuelled performances soon became legendary on the London performance poetry circuit. 

One year after taking his show on the road, Adisa landed first place in a National competition titled New Performance Poet of the Year. Benjamin Zephaniah, who was one of the judges said: 

“Adisa is the future. It’s so good to have something to look forward to.”
