of Linton Kwesi Johnson The experience of young Blacks in Britain today is given forceful expression in the poetry of Linton Kwesi Johnson. The powerful imagery and compelling rhythm of his verse, often read to the backing of a reggae band, speaks of disenchantment and frustration, but also of hope for the future. Janet Cohen investigates the personality of this poet and musician who clings fiercely to his roots among London s Black community.
