Poet goes viral

Great to see the poet Dean Atta getting the recognition he deserves with a piece in today’s Guardian.
I met Dean in London last year when he performed Shadow Boxer, his poem inspired by my novel Flip, at a launch event for Walker Books’ new teenage and young adult website, Undercover Reads.
Nice guy. Terrific poet.
Click here to read the profile of him in the Guardian, following news that his new poem about Stephen Lawrence has gone viral on the internet and Twitter.
And here’s a link to my earlier blog which reproduces Shadow Boxer.
