Beverley Nambozo Nsengiyunva's Flying Lead. Wednesday, July 23, 2014. HOW DID THE #BNPA2014 JUDGES SELECT THEIR SHORTLIST? 8221;Stepping into the river of poetry submissions was a cool immersion, some poems leapt out while others called from the waters. I learned about the contents of the poets’ minds and hearts, about their landscapes and weathers, about their rhythms and songs. In the end, I could carry away only those few.

Beverley Nambozo Nsengiyunva's Flying Lead. Wednesday, November 26, 2014. The Ghosts at Continental Suites #Akefestival2014-(personal account). These photos were taken by various guests at the Ake Festival. There were ghosts at The Continental Suites on Presidential Boulevard, Ibara, Abeokuta. Every night, I would hear knocking at my door and I’d call out, “Who is it? What’s a literary festival without a dance party and swimming? It was a bevy of rams on spit, tangled feet, hands where they shouldn&#8217...

DONNIE VANNIE BLOK | Echoes of a SalamanDer - Don Beukes

https://donbeukes.wordpress.com/2015/08/12/donnie-vannie-blok

Posted by Echoes of a Salamander -Don Beukes. August 12, 2015. This is for my AFRIKAANS followers but anyone can comment on it if you want! Surprisingly, I found myself writing my first song as a rap in a typical ‘Cape Flats’ dialect of AFRIKAANS from Cape Town, as I grew up and was educated in BELHAR, which is in the Nothern Suburbs of Cape Town and only 10 minutes from the airport! Anyway, I guess my passion for poetry morphed into a new passion for songwriting! Leave a Reply Cancel reply. This slidesh...

Oblivion | NURAIN OLADEJI

https://nurainoladeji.wordpress.com/2015/06/01/oblivion

My struggle with silence. When forehead bears weight. Time fails to unburden,. It is the heart that needs sedating. Eyes, witnesses of history, know more. The struggle to forget. Why look? Days are luckier. They die. Resurrect amnesiac; live on in serenity or wonder. Where wreckage spilled from. It is easier to sew yourself up if you forget. How you tore. But you must know, or die. Chasing after fading suns at Atlantic’s core. Grieve lasts too long it replaces. Life is never good enough,. Clinical Blues,...

NYTimes: Why Writers Love to Hate the M.F.A. | NURAIN OLADEJI

https://nurainoladeji.wordpress.com/2015/04/11/nytimes-why-writers-love-to-hate-the-m-f-a

My struggle with silence. NYTimes: Why Writers Love to Hate the M.F.A. NYTimes: Why Writers Love to Hate the M.F.A. This is an insightful essay on the rapidly blooming desire of writers to acquire a M.F.A. degree in Creative Writing. It highlights, mostly from experiences of past attendees and those close to the programme enough to give authoritative insights, the good, bad, tolerable, but most importantly, what I perceive to be the truth.

Write Till You Drop | NURAIN OLADEJI

https://nurainoladeji.wordpress.com/2015/06/04/write-till-you-drop

My struggle with silence. Write Till You Drop. Http:/ www.nytimes.com/books/99/03/28/specials/dillard-drop.html. Fantastic piece. It courses through the creative path of writing, of achieving mastery at it, of drowning in the vastness of the world to live, appreciate beauty, and create one’s own beauty. And most importantly, that we must write. And write. And keep writing. This entry was posted on June 4, 2015 by nurainoladeji. It was filed under Uncategorized. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

The Perfect and Solemn Art of Waiting. June 29, 2015. June 30, 2015. An hour, two. A couple of more minutes. A few more hours? Probable. A few more days? Maybe We seemed to have perfected the art of waiting. It’s a chain and you are in the middle and you cannot rid yourself of it. You are a B struggling between A and C, an X between W and Y. But, nothing happens if you don’t wait; nothing happens if you. His homage to Superchair 4 and gets. File for job A from the Black Big Chair S. All of us divide.
