#London honors its "People’s Poet." The Poetry International Festival 2026 celebrates the radical legacy of Benjamin Zephaniah as a cornerstone of the Southbank Centre’s 75th-anniversary festivities.

Totally agree.
Personally it’s like the delivery of Jamaican patois poetry from #LouiseBennett or #BenjaminZephaniah is much sweeter with their delivery than reading it with my disjointed clunky interpretation.

#BenjaminZephaniah has always manifested so much of the heart of Birmingham to me. I cried when he passed. His words have always guided me to try to be better - kinder, funnier & wiser.

Wonderful, Wonderful Words by #BenjaminZephaniah

theanarchistlibrary.org/library/benj.... Deep inside I say a big thank you to the wonderful and sadly lost, #BenjaminZephaniah. I saw and really heard him do a poetry gig in my teens and was genuinely inspired. May he rest in peace.
Home English Poets The British by Benjamin Zephaniah "Take some Picts, Celts and Silures And let them settle, Then overrun them with Roman conquerors. Remove the Romans after approximately 400 years Add lots of Norman French to some Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Vikings, then stir vigorously. Mix some hot Chileans, cool Jamaicans, Dominicans, Trinidadians and Bajans with some Ethiopians, Chinese, Vietnamese and Sudanese. Then take a blend of Somalians, Sri Lankans, Nigerians And Pakistanis, Combine with some Guyanese And turn up the heat. Sprinkle some fresh Indians, Malaysians, Bosnians, Iraqis and Bangladeshis together with some Afghans, Spanish, Turkish, Kurdish, Japanese And Palestinians Then add to the melting pot. Leave the ingredients to simmer. As they mix and blend allow their languages to flourish Binding them together with English. Allow time to be cool. Add some unity, understanding, and respect for the future, Serve with justice And enjoy. Note: All the ingredients are equally important. Treating one ingredient better than another will leave a bitter unpleasant taste. Warning: An unequal spread of justice will damage the people and cause pain. Give justice and equality to all."

@onlyinbirmingham.bsky.social #Handsworth could teach @RobertJenrick how to live in a global society. #BenjaminZephaniah - spirit of #Birmingham - said "Handsworth for me is...where I learnt all my skills, my communication skills, my hustling skills, my poetic skills, everything."
Looking back at my very white childhood of the 1980s #BenjaminZephaniah is one of those people whose words cut right through and punctured a cosy world of ignorance. No idea where I first heard him but I certainly did.

Following the sketching instruction (in a video) from Adebanji at The Addictive Sketcher Movement, I sketched Benjamin Zephaniah.
