For: Poets in Nigeria
Hello Freedom,
I am among the 100 top poets for the 2017 PIN awards, but I have not obtained my certificate, given that I was unable to attend the awards ceremony that held in Enugu.
I learnt that PIN would be holding some poetry events and readings at their different Connect locations in the country sometime in October as a memento of Nigeria’s independence. I also learnt that the events would avail those that missed the Enugu ceremony the opportunity to obtain their certificates. But unlike others, I have not received any mail to that effect,so as to enable me state my Connect zone for the said events.
Warm regards,
Okpara,Maxwell Okpara
