"National Poetry Month" {NPM}
April 2016
In year 2015 when THE POETRY COURT started with its AFRICAN
POETS ENCYCLOPEDIA. We didn’t see it as something that will be much appreciated
as it is right now. Poets are now seriously anticipating for the list.
Well, for this year 2016 we decided to extend our mind to
see the possibility of tagging the names with numbers, (NOT RANKING) as we
expected a thousand poets (1000) to be on the list. But we ended up getting
seven hundred and fifty one poets (751) and these seven hundred and fifty one
poets, includes promoters, page poets and performance poets in Africa that have
supported poetry, in their own little way in AFRICA.
Year 2017, we have plans of making it a ranking list for all
African poets…
