Poet, Benjamin Zephaniah wrote his first collection of poems, titled Pen Rhythms at the tender age of 22. Now aged 49, the British-Jamaican has emerged as one of this nations most established of black writers and social commentators.

Currently sitting pretty as both Writer in Residence at the Africa Arts Collective in Liverpool and Creative Artist in Residence at Cambridge, Zephaniah was able to find time to take control of your airwaves, featuring as tonight’s guest on Sky Arts’ Friday Night Hijack series.

Usually, ArtsWom would delve into the particular artist’s selection (in our traditionally insightful and witty manner). This time, however, Sky Arts are seemingly trying to trump our efforts through the medium of sheer flashiness - and, interestingly, clicking on lightbulbs. Traverse eagerly over to the Sky Arts website to find out more about the poet with a short interview, bio, his choice of programmes and a chance to discuss his work.
