Dr Benjamin Obadiah Iqbal Zephaniah was born and raised in Birmingham, England. He cannot remember a time when he was not creating poetry. Poet, writer, lyricist, musician, he is one of the UK’s most recognized and popular poets. He discusses six of his favourite poems with prizewinning Welsh poet Rhian Edwards and we hear readings from some of the authors who wrote them: Liz Berry, Grace Nichols, Kid Anasi (Jamal Hassan), Mary Jean Chan – with special guest Daljit Nagra reading a poem by Shelley.
