Benjamin Zephaniah, an author, professor and poet whose work, infused with strong social messages, helped inspire a generation of British poets to find their voices, died on Thursday. He was 65.
His poems packed a punch for social justice, said Judith Palmer, the director of the Poetry Society, a British arts organization. She described them as gentle and humorous at the same time.
