Linton Kwesi Johnson presented with Golden PEN 2012
The Golden PEN Award for a Lifetime's Distinguished Service to Literature is presented annually to a British Writer. The winner is chosen by the Board of English PEN.
Linton Kwesi Johnson said he was both surprised and humbled to receive the award because his poetry belongs to a 'little tradition' of Caribbean verse. 'I hope that by conferring on me this award, English PEN will involve more black writers in its important work and that more black writers will support English PEN.'
