 Propa Propaganda was Benjamin Zephaniah's second collection from Bloodaxe. First published in 1996, it includes some of his classic poems, such as 'I Have a Scheme', 'The Death of Joy Gardner', 'White Comedy' and 'The Angry Black Poet'. Best known for his performance poetry with a political edge for adults - and his poetry with attitude for children - he was the first person to record with the Wailers after the death of Bob Marley, in a musical tribute to Nelson Mandela, which Mandela heard while in prison on Robben Island. He has published three other poetry books with Bloodaxe, City Psalms, Too Black Too Strong and To Do Wid Me (a DVD-book including a film portrait by Pamela Robertson-Pearce). His autobiography, The Life and Rhymes of Benjamin Zephaniah, was published by Scribner in 2018.

About Benjamin Zephaniah

Benjamin Zephaniah (1958–2023) left school at thirteen unable to read or write. He served a prison sentence for burglary before turning from crime to music and poetry. Born in Birmingham and raised in Handsworth, he moved to Newham, in east London, in 1980, the year his first collection Pen Rhythm appeared. Bloodaxe Books published City Psalms in 1992, Propa Propaganda in 1996 and Too Black, Too Strong in 2001. He refused a nomination for an OBE in 2003, objecting to the word “empire,” and a BBC poll in 2009 voted him Britain's third favourite poet. He held the Chair of Creative Writing at Brunel University London from 2011 until his death from a brain tumour on 7 December 2023.
