Linton Kwesi Johnson Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Linton Kwesi Johnson:

The more I read my poems, the more I find out about them. I still read them with the same passion I felt when I wrote them as a young man.

Younger people are discovering my work, even though my reggae is not like theirs.

I wrote two poems about the '81 uprisings: 'Di Great Insohreckshan' and 'Mekin Histri.' I wrote those two poems from the perspective of those who had taken part in the Brixton riots. The tone of the poem is celebratory because I wanted to capture the mood of exhilaration felt by black people at the time.

At the end of the day, life's about realising one's human potential. I don't know if I've realised mine, but I've certainly gone a long way towards realising some goals and some dreams.

The modern stuff, I can take it or leave it. I like its danceability, but the DJs talk a lot of nonsense.
