Also known as LKJ, Linton Kwesi Johnson is a Jamaican dub poet and activist who has been based in the United Kingdom since 1963.

In 2002 at the time of this Portland performance, he had just become the second living poet, and the only black poet, to be published in the Penguin Modern Classics series. His performance poetry involves the recitation of his own verse in Jamaican patois over dub-reggae, usually written in collaboration with renowned British reggae producer/artist Dennis Bovell.
