Product Description

Product Description

A brand new brilliant collection from the ground-breaking poet, Benjamin Zephaniah.

His verse explores people and places, cultures, nationalities and tribes. Includes poems about Inuits, Celts, the history of Britain, Maories, the Dalai Lama, the North and South Poles, and much more - a real tour of the world.

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.

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.

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!

Try to read it aloud in a Jamaican lilt, these need to be heard! I acually read this in the caribbean so was in the mood, but some of the messages about about people from all over the world are gently prodding us to rethink stereotypes.
