“New” in form, poetry making, thinking,
writing. Whilst we will give younger poets chance we do not necessarily
select young poets only. We are very flexible in what we term as
African; you may be born on the continent, you may be staying on the
continent yet from another continent (afrocentric), you may also be a
first descendent of African parents but staying in the diasporas.
