We are very sad to hear of the death of Benjamin Zephaniah. What a wonderful life to have lived though, bringing joy, love and humour to millions. Every day we see his influence on young people too, he inspired so many to read and write poetry.

Writer and poet Benjamin Zephaniah dies aged 65 - BBC News

Zephaniah, who was recently diagnosed with a brain tumour, is remembered as a "beautiful human being".
