We are greatly saddened to hear of the death of our Professor Benjamin Zephaniah – performance poet, writer, musician and Professor of Creative Writing at Brunel. Our thoughts are with his family and all who are close to him.

Really upset about this - Prof Zephaniah was such an inspirational teacher and performer when I studied at Brunel English. A great loss to the literary world.
