Operation Black Vote was delighted when one of the greatest living poets of our generation came into our offices and gave an interview with Richard Sudan.
.
Part of Zephaniah’s greatness is in his humbleness. He came in stopped and talked to staff and posed for photos with a manner that quered, ‘are you sure you’d like your photo with me?
The interview is broken up into four segments: His journey into poetry; the political Zephaniah; the rise of the far right; and the rejection of the Queen’s Honour.
This exclusive interview gives a wonderful insight to a man who’s words have in so many ways helped define a generation.
We hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did putting it together.
