Poetry Month Activities in Windhoek

Township Productions in conjunction with POETREE and with generously funding from the National Arts Council of Namibia (NACN) will be celebrating World Poetry Month. We will host 3 major poetry sessions between 14 and 28 April In Windhoek

The poetry sessions will cover three major activities

1, Namibian Poets will share through reading, and recitals their poetry written in English. This will be followed by a presentation and discussion lead by a well known academic in Namibian literature.

2. Namibian poets writing in indigenous languages will share, read and recite their poems. This will also be followed by a presentation and discussions around the creative writing in indigenous language.

3, Namibians and ex-patriots will be asked to bring along poems, from the Southern African Region and elsewhere in the world, and share with the audience present. This will also be followed by discussions on Regional and international poetry and how it might impact on the Namibian poets and writing.

We are looking forward to a poetic interaction through out April. The venue is yet to be confirmed and announce. In the mean time. Let us read and write more poetry. For the world cannot be polluted by words of wisdom.
