I did it too
The much anticipated debut collection from Deanna Rodger demonstrates a remarkable ability to craft timeless poems. Spanning 10 years they embody the politics of state and person, the city to the universe. Featuring commissions from St Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace and Guardian News and well known poems such as 'Cog' and 'Being British' and the startlingly abrupt `Nowadays'. I Did It Too is a public admittance, a powerful statement in this time of history.
Deanna Rodger has been integral to the progression of performance poetry and spoken word in the U.K, especially in London where she has made a name for herself as part of the poetry collectives Keats House Poetry Forum and Point Blank Poets and popular poetry events Chill Pill and Come Rhyme With Me. She currently writes for the Young Vic and was named one of ‘30 most inspirational women under 30’ by ELLE UK.

Having seen her perform some of her poetry at our school I could just see/ hear her in my head as I read these. I think that if you haven't seen her perform they will not work nearly so well as the connection will be missing. Best watch her on Youtube first and then read the poems.
