Product Description

About the Author

Benjamin Zephaniah was born in Birmingham and then spent some of his early years in Jamaica. He came to London when he was 22 and his first book of poetry for adults was published soon after. He appears regularly on TV and radio, and at literary festivals, and has also taken part in plays and films. He is very active in his local community and his writing goes hand in hand with his interest in politics.

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent, light-hearted yet serious poetry 17 Mar 2002

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

Benjamin Zephania came to my school is Bangkok, Thailand (Bangkok Patana School) and gave a 'poetry reading', although it was so much more. He showed us how his poems are light-hearted but at the same time serious. this book features many of those poems and is amazing to read. The poems are fantastic (and are really good to use if you do drama for GCSE or IB/A level).

I definatly reccomend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funky, fabulous looks at life! 25 April 2010

By C. Gardner

Format:Paperback

Stimulated by a tv programme about crafts (Monty Don's series about crafts), I saw a few lines from a Benjamin Zephaniah poem depicted in stained glass for a school in Peckham and was instantly hooked. Before the programme had finished, I had ordered three volumes of his poetry from Amazon and have enjoyed every line over and over again. If you don't know his work, please do buy some because it will be an enormous, thought-provoking treat!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not just for kids 3 Aug 2013

By Mark V

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I'm new to Zephaniah's writing. There are some excellent poems in this collection, which is permeated by his themes of ecology and tolerance. I'd recommend this book to all age groups, and not just to those who can read: poems can be read aloud too!

This is a lovely little book of poetry by the wonderful Ben Zephaniah,he says it all in a simple way and makes reading fun,lighthearted and delightful.He makes so much sense too when he speaks of how man is destroying his world,and how everyone should be regarded as equals. Excellent. Ann Bagnall
