Face, by Benjamin Zephaniah Shakespeare such as role-on-the-wallBenjamin Zephaniah is known firstly as a poet, rather than a writer, and claims he cannot remember a time when he was not creating poetry. Zephaniahs poetry is often inspired by Jamaican poetry and music, as well as what he refers to as street politics. Zephaniah moved to London, aged 22, when his first book, Pen Rhythm, was published.
