carmelily could u elaborate more on the purpose of this topic

 

 
Poetry Potter, a presentation by Kowry Kreations Media has now recorded five editions since the launch of this programme in January, this year. Hence, we have kept faith with our mission statement “towards the revitalization and sustainability of African arts, culture and value systems through oral, recitation and performance poetry, folktales and songs, which were the nucleus of education and intellectual discussion in the ancient period of Africa.
 
Since the principal aim of Kowry Kreations Media, as a literary organization, is to create a platform where creativity might be exhibited and enhanced, we thought it befitting to include within the vessel of our programme, Poetry Potter, two other interesting segments. These are: African Voices in the Diaspora and a Yearly Publication of an anthology of poems, short dramas and songs presented since the inception of the programme and to offer an audio CD. The first publication of the anthology and the CD respectively will be launched at the 12th edition of Poetry Potter, which is billed for January, 2007. Therefore, African Voices in Diaspora is aimed at giving our in-house audience the opportunity to listen and appreciate the creative ingenuity of African writers in other parts of the world. And also give African writers, in the Diaspora, the opportunity to participate in the programme at every edition. This will take effect from this month. Interested writers should send his/her work(s) to kowrykreationsmedia@yahoo.com with ten lines of bio-data.
 
As it is in our tradition to have a literary icon who chairs the event, as the Guest Artiste at every edition, Akeem Lasisi, the winner of the ANA-Cadbury Poetry Award 2005 and the Art editor of The Punch (newspaper) is our Guest Artiste of the month. The creator of Minus Poetry, Wale Ajakaye, will be at the event, not to recite minus poetry but to sing Ijala, the song of the hunters. Segun Tobi whose stage name is Are, also promises to thrill the audience with his unique African rhythm.
We must apologise that Poetry Potter could not be hold last month, June 2006, for logistical reasons. You can only imagine how disappointed we, the organizer of the programme, were.
 
We request you join us for the July edition, the sixth edition, which will be held on 29th July, 2006, at the National Library Hall, opposite the Casino Cinema, Alagomeji, Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria. The programme will start by 4 p.m., so please by prompt, no African time. Endeavour to come in your native attire. Admission is free!

keep em coming!

I am indeed sorry if my sending of the Press Release has caused inconvenience in this group. I had thought that this Press Release is Nigerians and Africans writers who are member of this Group, that was the reason why I sent it in the first instance. However, I tender my unreserved apology to whole member of the group.

Thanks.

lol! and here i was thinking MY poem was DUMB!

This short poem is indeed a good. HER: this in a woman makes her anatomy. POWER: this is what she controls with her anatomy and LIFE: is struggle, stress and aftermath of her anatomy.
