Benjamin Zephaniah called performance-poet Rommi Smith "unstoppable". Only 29 years old, she has been performing her work in public since the age of 14.
The multi-talented performer teaches creative writing at Leeds University, received a Best Actress award from Bath Theatre Royal in 1990 and chaired the first-ever people's jury for the Booker Prize in 1999. This year, she was the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Writer-In-Residence for the Commonwealth Games in Manchester.
She talks to Jenni about the life and loves of the diva.
