RIP to the great #BenjaminZephaniah 🕊🙏🏿 One of Britain’s most prolific literary voices. We lost a legend today. Sending our deepest condolences out to his family & friends.
Benjamin Zephaniah has died, aged 65. The poet had been diagnosed with a brain tumour only eight weeks ago. Last year he shared his life story, his passion for language and his love for people with @IMcMillan on the Verb (and there's plenty of his wonderful verse).
Message in a Bottle: join us in Heptonstall Museum on 2nd December for unique festive gift buying, poetry, refreshments - and sheer unbridled enjoyment of local heritage, habitat and creativity!
