Since the 80s, African readers and criticts have challenged the pride of Poetry over Play and Prose. The poetic art of the 80s and 90s celebrate a Nationalism obligation, traditional Black Africa and 'Political Poetry' with Poets like Wole Soyinka, J.P Clark, U Tam'si, Dennis Brutus, David Diop, Kwesi Brew, Birago Diop, Lepold Sedar Senghor and other contemporary traditional Black Africa Poet. It as since then become an unvoidable tone for developing Black Africa Poet. The 20th Century Black Africa Poetry witness an overflow of Newbreed Poet; whom unarguably tactically promote a huge recognition for Africa Poetry at home and Abroad. The 21st Century African Poetry art experience a similar but shameful achievement due to the repetition of the boring, stale and annoying poetry imageries, structures and themes of the 80s and 90s which does not connote with todays atistic view of the World, being more literal, it's infact an 'old skol' approach. This tendecy as affect the Modern Africa Poetry to maintain it's superiority over Modern Prose and Play. Against the Poetry act of this generation, ArtBEAT is an highly welcome development by Owoade Adewale in the reconstruction of what we call today's Modern Poetry art. Its promising and dinstinguish attention to Young developing Poet is also an unavoided one. There is no doubt that ArtBEAT role as the loudspeaker for Newbreed Poet will contribute to the Celebration of Traditional Poetry with Modern Imageries, especially as at this time when an emergency concern is needed. ArtBEAT Anthologies, feauturing numberless Black Africa Young talented Poet will undoubtedly 'activate' Contemporary 21st Century Africa Poetry. SUPPORT ArtBEAT! SUPPORT Afro-Modern Black Africa Poetry!! SUPPORT Owoade Adewale and other aspiring Poet. (BY Owoade Adewale, A Campaign for ArtBEAT Anthology Vol. 1).
