As you may remember, John Agard was poet-in-residence at the Museum last year, and wrote a couple of memorable posts on this blog about being inspired by London’s drinking water and Ignatius Sancho enjoying an Honest Sausage in Greenwich Park.
During his residency he also wrote a number of poems in response to objects in the new Atlantic Worlds gallery. Recordings of these poems have just been made available on the main museum website, so you can now enjoy John’s voice as well as his words.

Hi Yazzy, our subject is mostly maritime history so we don’t have much more information about John and his books other than what you see here on the blog and on our Atlantic Worlds website.
If you are in London, have you thought of visiting the Poetry Library, near Waterloo station in the Southbank Centre? It’s free to join with some ID and proof of address, and they can help you with finding copies and recordings of poems as well as reference books. Their website is: http://www.poetrylibrary.org.uk/about/.
