	Patience Agbabi
		Agbabi straddles boundaries, collaborating with others in creating it, just as she also takes techniques from other art forms; most obviously the wordplay, rhythms and rhyming effects of 'rap' music.
		And during Agbabi's fifteen-day residency at 'The Flamin' Eight', her objective was to create poems suitable to be tattooed, including a twenty-six syllable acrostic poem, 'published' on the upper arm of a friend of hers.
		Agbabi herself went under the needle, as she related in Poetry Review (Spring 2000): 'In two hours time, my entire back was transformed except for a blank space in the small of it, just enough room for a haiku'.

	REFUGEE - Reviews
		Performance poet Patience Agbabi’s debut collection is an unadulterated treat, the poetry leaping off the page, instead of dying on it as much spoken-word stuff tends to do.
		Agbabi uses tight sprung rhythms, a driving rap style with an impeccable sense of timing – the poems never outstay their inventiveness.
		When thinking of labels such as fl or lesbian to write about her, one finds them hollow, for while her poetry engages constantly with issues of race, sexuality and gender (to say nothing of the political system), she celebrates a pansexuality and an awareness of race and culture that values the individual rather than stereotypes:
