I am a young poet and would like to participate actively with the activities of PIN.
A good idea and good promotion of the arts of poetry, a very technical craft in every ramification. Such a conference will also try to reappraise current trends in modern Nigerian poetry. Good arrangement which will definitely spur aspiring writers. Good luck PIN.
I’m will also like to participate but I’m outside Enugu I’m in Ogun
