Reviews
Her poems draw on rap, jive and disco rhythms as much as the formal subtleties of free verse. Agbabi is a fine poet, and her linguistic wit carries satirical fire, 'The liveliest versions of Chaucer you're likely to read - every page a virtuoso performance of language, character and story." --Simon Armitage, translator, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
