description: "Patience Agbabi FRSL is a British poet and performer who emphasizes the spoken word. Although her poetry addresses contemporary themes, it often makes use of formal constraints, including traditional poetic forms. She has described herself as \"bicultural\" and bisexual. Issues of racial and gender identity feature in her poetry. She is celebrated \"for paying equal homage to literature and performance\" and for work that \"moves fluidly and nimbly between cultures, dialects, voices; between page and stage.\" In 2017, she was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature."
