RIP my dude, your wonderful words and voice will be missed by this world!

R.I.P you will never be forgotten. Legend that you are. True son of city of Birmingham 🙏🏾❤️

A lot of these schools and teachers should be ashamed of themselves. They still treat children like this in a lot of classrooms/schools. #EveryChildIsNotSame!! Thank you for sharing your greatness with us. Your legacy will live on forever!!! Rest In Peace.

I'm so sad you had to leave us, Benjamin. You were a gift to so many people. Rest in poetry ❤

I am the same. I think he is an amazing human being and I wish there were more like him.

It’s amazing that how horribly treated Benjamin was treated yet he still wrote books and is so amazing

Quite possibly the worst poet who ever lived if the truth be told. I was force fed this crap at school, then went home and listened to my Leonard Cohen records.

Inspiration and a man who has overcome great adversity. So did I. But don't sell His poetry as great. It's dumbing down working-class class kids like me and no doubt my kids and Grandkids. Meanwhile, the Chinese are laughing there arse s off. His poetry and itself important, but don't make it out to be what it is not.

Admittedly he isn't the most eloquent poet but as a teacher, I have found his work useful in engaging disenfranchised inner-city students that see no value in poetry. It lends itself to hip hop, reggae and other sub-cultures that challenging students are able to connect with. It also serves as a good starting point for introducing more complex work.
