NBB expresses deep sadness over the passing of Benjamin Zephaniah. Always a Poet of the People and a friend of NBB, his place in the UK's literary landscape is assured. Our condolences and thoughts are with Benjamin's family and loved ones at this time. His light still shines.

"More than a bookshop." I dropped by @newbeaconbooks in Finsbury Park to learn about the history of the UK's longest running Black-owned bookstore. Don't give your money to Amazon. Give it to independent bookshops like New Beacon instead.
