Benjamin Zephaniah

Award winning poet Benjamin Zephaniah is a long time supporter of THTC.

He was once Britain's most filmed, photographed, and identifiable poet. He has to taken poetry everywhere; changing the dead image that academia and the establishment had given poetry by reaching people who did not read books, those that were keen on books could now witness a book coming to life on the stage. His poetry was political, musical, radical, relevant and seen on TV.

Benjamin Zephaniah believes that working with human rights groups, animal rights groups and other political organisations means that he will never lack subject matter. He continues working throughout Asia, South America and Africa, and is as passionate about politics and poetry now as he has ever been.For more information, visit his youtube page,  website and his Wikipedia page.
