What is Life & Rhymes about?
Life & Rhymes is a four-part series from Sky Arts which sees a set of new poets perform their own work over the course of each 26-minute episode. Hosted by Professor Benjamin Zephaniah, the series explores topics such as racism, gender, sexuality and mental health through the medium of spoken word.
As well as performance from Zephaniah himself, each episode features an open mic section where a group of randomly selected audience members have one-minute to share their own spoken-word poetry.
The series was filmed during lockdown with a socially distanced audience in South London's Battersea Park.
