About this deal

In 2020, he appeared as a panellist on the BBC television show QI, on the episode "Roaming". [25] Music a b "Brighton Magazine – Benjamin Zephaniah: Well Read Rastafarian Poet Comes To Lewes". Magazine.brighton.co.uk. 21 June 2023. It’s just a little too shaky in places, and whilst there aren’t any overt mistakes in terms of grammar and punctuation, I did occasionally find myself being jerked out of the story when somebody behaved strangely or said something unusual. You could tell it was purely for the sake of advancing the moral. And then there was the part where Zephaniah said it was a Friday, and in the following scene it was “the next day” and still Friday, somehow.

We Sang Across the Sea: The Empire Windrush and Me (2022), a biography of Mona Baptiste written by Zephaniah and illustrated by Onyinye Iwu. [65] In 2012, Zephaniah joined Amnesty International in speaking out against homophobia in Jamaica, saying: "For many years Jamaica was associated with freedom fighters and liberators, so it hurts when I see that the home of my parents is now associated with the persecution of people because of their sexual orientation."

Martin gets reconstructive surgery but it doesn’t restore his face to its prior condition. Throughout his encounters and experiences that result from this, he learns the error of his ways and realises that you shouldn’t treat people based on how they look but on the person that they are. The novel moved fast, though held nearly every emotion under the sun and portrayed some key values to its readers. The values of friendship, family, resilience, and willpower were prevalent. It even taught me a thing or two, which I admire. It shows a book is wonderfully written when it targets a younger audience, yet makes an impact on an older one. ★ Rating★ Benjamin Zephaniah on fighting the far right: 'If we did nothing we would be killed on the streets' ".

Even once I’d been absorbed into the story line, I didn’t enjoy it much, although I did appreciate that the large print made it easy for me to power through it.

Reviews

He writes that his poetry is strongly influenced by the music and poetry of Jamaica and what he calls "street politics". His first performance was in church when he was eleven, and by the age of 15, his poetry was already known among Handsworth's Afro-Caribbean and Asian communities. [8] It perfectly executes a change in character for Martin, who you go from having a distaste to, to supporting every step of his lifechanging journey. The pacing is excellent as well, with events naturally following on from one another - whilst never lingering on certain situations for too long. Constantly remaining engaging and new with each chapter.

With this being my 3rd reading of 'Face' (reading the book twice, and the play once), I still love this book and the message it teaches the reader. The Life And Rhymes of Benjamin Zephaniah. Simon & Schuster. 2 May 2019. ISBN 9781471168956 . Retrieved 12 February 2023.
