Benjamin Zephaniah reads his poem 'To Do Wid Me' from IN PERSON: 30 POETS, filmed by Pamela Robertson-Pearce & edited by Neil Astley (Bloodaxe Books, 2008). Pamela has been filming poets reading their work for Bloodaxe's archive, website and DVD-books. This poem by Benjamin Zephaniah is from his collection TOO BLACK TOO STRONG (Bloodaxe Books, 2001). Benjamin Zephaniah is an oral poet, novelist, playwright, children’s writer and reggae artist. Best known for his performance poetry with a political edge for adults – and his poetry with attitude for children – he has his own rap/reggae band. We filmed him at his home in November 2007.
