Benjamin Zephaniah May 05 2011, 11:10 AM

I figured this was the most appropriate place for this to go xD So, my favourite poet is Benjamin Zephaniah. If you haven't read any of his poetry, 1. how have you lived?? and 2. go read some, now!! So on this, I have 2 points to make. 1. Who's your favourite poet and why? 2. I love Benjamin Zephaniah because his poetry is so passionate and doesn't conform to "traditional" poetry, and he fights for what he believes is right. He even turned down an OBE because... well, here's the article which explains why: http://www.benjaminzephaniah.com/content/174.php and I COMPLETELY agree with him. But I wanted to know what you thought about him? So... yeah xD
