Jamaican reggae poet, activist and critic Linton Kwesi Johnson performs a selection of his poetry and talks about his latest book, Time Come, in conversation with author Jacqueline Crooks.
Time Come spans five decades, drawing on the poet's Jamaican roots and on Caribbean history to explore the politics of race that still informs the modern Black British experience.
Jacqueline Crooks' debut novel Fire Rush was shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction, Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize, Jhalak Prize, Paul Torday Memorial Prize and Author's Club Best First Novel Award.
