Benjamin Zephaniah poem

[Hedge-Witch]

My daughter is looking for a poem called The Vegans by Benjamin Zephaniah online but we can't find it and she desperately needs this for some homework! Does anyone have any ideas as to where we might be able to find this? Please help!

Some from the book are on his website under Rhymin

I know he lives in the borough of Newham in London and is contactable via the book shop on Barking Road in Plaistow - I had him on my show at BBC years ago but cant recall his PR people - the manager of that book shop can definitely help you as he signs books there regularly and is a local to that area - he is really nice guy and would definitely help - will get back to you on the book shop name but it is between selsdon road and green street E13 on barking road
