Who are your favourite poets?
I don’t have a long list of favourite poets, but … I think Langston Hughes’ poems are beautifully written. I am a big fan of his work. I am also really into Sting. His songs are some of the most beautiful and creative poems I’ve heard. I am always amazed that he can find so many original ways to deal with the theme of romance. As for Caribbean poets, I am quite partial to the Guyanese poet, John Agard. I’ve read a few of his poems and I really enjoyed them. I have also really enjoyed the wit and cheek of many of Rudyard Kipling’s poems, and I love the creative simplicity of French poet Jacques Prevert.
