AFRICAN POETS ENCYCLOPEDIA 3 - 2017

There's something very important to us, and that is your name. Names are like identity marks, you wear them like ALWAYS.

GlorydPoet said in her Spoken Word Poem. That good names are better than gold. Prestige also said it, in his poem with Paul Word "good name better pass money and fame. When everything don go, E go still remain"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of our aim in ThePoetryCourt is to give African Poets a name, so we are building an Encyclopedia of African Poets.
Note: it's not a ranking list It's to celebrate African Poets.
If you see your name on the list now as search through this Encyclopedia; Smile and show another Poet to search for his/her name. You will like and enjoy the fun of searching for your name on an Encyclopedia of African Poets.

This list is for both WRITTEN POETS, SPOKEN WORD POETS, PERFORMANCE POETS and POETRY PROMOTERS.

April is National Poetry Month. This year 2017, is our third year on the list, and it has really been encouraging. Poets have been showing love and support on it.

Poetry Promoters Includes: writers of other genre who include poetry in their events/ Musicians who see poetry as a tool for a better society...
