They should be comfortable with the idea of performing for an audience, and the possibility of doing press and media interviews.

The Birmingham Young Poet Laureate is asked to undertake a small number of honorary duties during their tenure, including writing poems to commemorate significant moments, giving performances of their work and encouraging an interest in poetry across the city. While the posts are honorary and the roles are voluntary, payments are sometimes made for work that is particularly time-consuming.
