With Roger Robinson

British-Trinidadian dub poet, Roger Robinson delivers a 3 Minute Epiphany on his work and inspirations.

We have a 3 Minute Epiphany from the dub poet Roger Robinson, winner of this year's prestigious TS Eliot prize. Roger talks us through his early influences, the inspiration behind his poetry and his collaborations with electronic musician The Bug, as part of the brilliant King Midas Sound. Roger won the TS Eliot Prize for his collection of poetry titled, 'A Portable Paradise', which tackle themes such as racism and events such as the Grenfell Tower fire, as well as exploring the idea of paradise and searching for it throughout life.
