Here, he is drawn into a lively and revealing interview by <strong>Semilore Kilaso,<\/strong> moderator of <em>PIN Literary Interviews<\/em>. They explore a wide range of topics including writing, literary competitions, Nigerian poetry and the interviewee\u2019s participation in the NSPP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\"><em><strong>Divine Inyang Titus <\/strong>is a writer, performance poet, and songwriter, keen on exploring the nuances of the human experience through art. He is the 1st Runner-up Nigerian Students Poetry Prize (NSPP) 2021, the winner of the STCW Future Folklore Climate Fiction Contest, 2021, and a winner of Shuzia Poetry Prize, and Poetry Column-NND Weekly Poetry Contest.

Tell me more about yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DIVINE INYANG:<\/strong> Thanks a lot, it\u2019s a real honour to be a winner of such prestigious prize. I\u2019m Divine Inyang Titus, last child of my parents, and I write stories, poems, essays and songs. I also sing, play the guitar, teach and do research work. I\u2019m a student of Fisheries &amp; Aquatic Environmental Management in the University of Uyo, about to wrap up a 5-year (turned 6 due to the pandemic) academic program hopefully in the brightest colours possible (Lord knows I\u2019ve worked hard for it). I consider myself a lover: of knowledge, good books, people, beans &amp; potatoes, coke and shawarma. Besides writing, reading, music and teaching, I really enjoy debates, some movies, conversations \u2013 mostly intellectual ones, things that make me laugh, and, of course, football. My favourite teams are Tottenham Hotspur (foremost) and Messi (that\u2019s not a mistake; he\u2019s literally larger than many clubs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PLI:<\/strong> How did you learn of Poets in Nigeria and NSPP?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DIVINE INYANG:<\/strong> I learned about Poets in Nigeria a few years ago. Perhaps 2019 would be a fair estimate. My friend had talked about entering for the NSPP. She did enter and made the Longlist with a fine poem \u201cwhat were you thinking when you named this place\u201d. I thought the title was really bold and the content beautifully audacious. Later, I heard about a few other PIN initiatives including Festival Poetry Calabar \u2013 of which my good friend Eromosele is a great proponent \u2013 and Poetically Written Prose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PLI:<\/strong>&nbsp; Is this your first time entering for NSPP?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DIVINE INYANG:<\/strong> It is. How fortunate for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PLI:<\/strong> How did you feel about writing with a theme for NSPP. How long did it take to write the winning poem \u201cA Naira Shy of Rebirth?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DIVINE INYANG:<\/strong> Writing for a theme is always a challenging endeavour for me, especially in the first two to three days when I drew blanks from my brain \u2013 and that can be frustrating sometimes. But it\u2019s something I relish deeply, because it leads me to push my mind and dig into spaces, to unearth the kind of gold I wouldn\u2019t normally lead myself to unearthing. So, when NSPP came out with a themed call, though I knew it\u2019d be tougher for me, I looked forward to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong>A Naira Shy of Rebirth<\/strong>\u201d took about two weeks to write. Some of that time was spent in my head trying to decide which among the given themes bore the hill I\u2019d be willing to die on. And then perhaps the largest portion of that time went to carving out a narrative. I wrote on Identity: Faces and Phases, and for me, there needed to be a narrative, a movement across stories like a sonata. I had scattered lines here and there, insights of my own from how I personally navigated my identity, etc. In the end, the greatest difficulty laid in fitting those together in a movement that satisfied both my aesthetic and philosophical aims.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PLI<\/strong>: Do you agree that competitions are important and healthy in the creative space?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DIVINE INYANG:<\/strong> Oh yes I do. I really do. I think most writers will, once they make their piece with the inevitability of defeat at one time or the other, and the possibility of victory too. Competitions motivate like little else I know. And sometimes, it\u2019s that push we really need as creatives to leave our comfort zones and explore novel territories and shake some new meaning out of ourselves. It doesn\u2019t have to be our best work. But the fact that we get to create is a great plus for us. So it\u2019s really important, also as a grading tool. The creative works sent to different platforms pit them against an astonishing range of competencies and skills. In the end, you\u2019re acquainted with a standard of some sort. You know where the bar is. And that\u2019s healthy for any up-and-coming creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PLI:<\/strong>&nbsp; As poets, some of us tend to look at stylistics. How would you describe poetry in relation to your style?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DIVINE INYANG:<\/strong> Many times, my poems are a result of some form of meditation or the other. Hence, sometimes, I like to think of poetry itself as a meditation; a concise, artistic meditation. But poetry can also be pleasing and liberating. And sometimes too, I\u2019ve tried to achieve that in my poems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I try to write with words that say exactly what I want to say, so my word choices \u2013 and placement \u2013 are quite intentional. My diction (or just the way I put words together) tends to veer off the commonplace register at times because of this proclivity. But I do try to strike a balance. Poetry has been a great avenue for me to learn both the essential and the more complex faces of language. And poets are, quite simply, people who are obsessed with language. That is why, sometimes, I like to not rob my readers of an opportunity to grapple with complex language just for extra points of simplicity.<\/p>\n<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 1.7.8 -->\n<div class=\"quads-location quads-ad2\" id=\"quads-ad2\" style=\"float:none;margin:0px;\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<script>\r\n  (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({\r\n    google_ad_client: \"ca-pub-5983616716487778\",\r\n    enable_page_level_ads: true\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d also say I have a very graphic sensibility (as many writers do), and I think that reflects in most of my work in that I tend to describe things I \u2018see\u2019 through my mind\u2019s eye. So when I conceive of a narrative movement in poetry, I have to see that movement happen and then represent that poetically. This, I do particularly when I have a theme or a philosophical mission to accomplish in a poem. It takes a lot of going back and forth editing my works to achieve the kind of poetry I deem complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PLI:<\/strong>&nbsp; Do you have any interesting writing habit such as when and how you write?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DIVINE INYANG:<\/strong> Lol, no. Not really. I\u2019d say I write when I\u2019m settled, where it is mostly quiet and I have some solitude (my closest friends don\u2019t count in this case, lol). I should also say early mornings, late evenings, and ungodly hours of the night and my more preferred times to write \u2013 perhaps because I\u2019m more likely to achieve favourable writing conditions at that time. But I do know I\u2019ve written in all kinds of scenarios and at diverse hours, so I\u2019m not so sure these preferences have any significant bearing on what I produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As to how I write; whoosh, that\u2019s a tough one. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything interesting there too. I just have a few things that help me (sometimes) to get a groove going. Sometimes, lines fall to me (as I\u2019m sure they do every other poet). Other times, I look for them. I really dig in for them. And sometimes what I find is ore that needs a lot of refining. So most of the time, the magic is actually in the tenacity to dig and keep digging. And rest after I get exhausted, then keep digging when my strength is renewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I get stuck, there are times I let my mind do a kind of unfettered freestyle. A gem or two may fall. Or just a lead. Or just what \u2018sounds\u2019 like one. These I follow and develop, and they sometimes birth truly marvellous lines of poetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PLI<\/strong>: There is a paradigm shift in Nigeria literature. What is contemporary poetry to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DIVINE INYANG:<\/strong> The poetry of deep feeling, audacity and contemplation. You could say that\u2019s what poetry has always been, but this is the only movement in poetry that I\u2019ve ever been a part of, and it\u2019s the only one I truly know. And what I know of it is that it lets itself \u201cfeel\u201d more than most, is more vulnerable than most, demystifies both language and structure, then with a keen sense of responsibility, it protests and celebrates in truly breathtaking ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are those who would say Contemporary poetry is an offspring of the American confessional style of writing. Perhaps they\u2019re right. You can think of contemporary poetry as a series of poeticized confessions; of things seen, heard, felt, experienced, unseen, unheard, unfelt, etc. Perhaps, this is what is responsible for that intimate sensibility that accompanies most contemporary poems \u2013 that feeling that you can crumble into the poet-persona\u2019s perspective, and dissolve into their story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PLI:<\/strong> Which Nigerian poets have influenced you and your writing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DIVINE INYANG:<\/strong> Oh, there\u2019s a lot of them, starting from the fathers. I\u2019m an Achebean, so his person and poetry live very much in me. I read and adored the works of Soyinka (even the ones I couldn\u2019t understand), Pepper Clark, Niyi Osundare, Christopher Okigbo (whom I think is better described as an incantator rather than poet), and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the poets of my day, there are quite a few. Martins Deep is one of those people (one of my absolute favourites) and also Nnadi Samuel Samba, both supernaturally good poets. I read a lot of Romeo Oriogun, whose poetry taught me the art of surrender. I listen to Titilope Sonuga, and I love Samuel A. Adeyemi\u2019s poetry too. There\u2019s also my good friend Michael Immosan, who\u2019s my editor, critic and with whom I have the most conversations about poetry, and then my poetry group, Poetic Nest \u2013 a collective of poets where we learn and nurture the art of writing. The amazing poets in there have influenced me and my writing in more ways that I can mention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PLI:<\/strong>&nbsp; What in your opinion is the place of poetry as a genre of literature in Nigeria? What future? What opportunities for poets?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DIVINE INYANG:<\/strong> Anyone who\u2019s paid enough attention to the Nigerian poetry scene in recent years would easily observe what seems like an explosion of talents and visibility of Nigerian poetry on the continental and global scene. That, I think, bodes very well for poetry and for poets in general and is a testament to the rising relevance of poetry everywhere around the world. Future? More of that. More and more of that. Picture when poetry kick-starts a national event like it does in America now. I think the future is big, bold and bright. The opportunity most poets seek is mainly a platform to showcase their works, and there are a lot of magazines now asking for pieces of all their goodness. And Nigerian poets are giving it to them without mercy. And it\u2019s reflecting in our continental and global literary image. I hope that continues to happen for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PLI:<\/strong> What is your opinion about Poets in Nigeria as a vanguard of poetry renaissance in our country?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DIVINE INYANG:<\/strong> One of the most important organizations for poets in Nigeria, hands down. It\u2019s the dedication that beats me. It\u2019s like: we\u2019re going to marshal hundreds of poets into one massive literary army, and together, we\u2019ll take over the world! What a statement! I\u2019m deeply grateful for PIN. The initiatives are spot-on, the people are beautiful, the belief riles your soul, the sacrifices are humbling. It\u2019s literally one of the best things that\u2019s ever happened to Nigerian poetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PLI:<\/strong> Thank you for your time. How would you like to round off this interview?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DIVINE INYANG:<\/strong> I\u2019d love to round off by saying a big, big thank you to Poets in Nigeria, to Mr. Kolade for bold and buoyant service, to Sir Eriata for his selfless service and dedication to the art, and to you Semilore for this amazing interview. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve expressed enough how wonderful it feels to be honoured in this manner by a body of such lofty repute. But it really is a wonderful feeling. I\u2019m a relatively new writer, so this is gold to me right now. And will forever be. I\u2019d love to thank my mother, Mrs. Regina. She prayed her eyes out for me as I set out to Ibadan abruptly on a bright, Thursday morning, and stood by me through the numerous trials I faced on my way home. Then she danced a dazzling victory dance when I won and threw a small feast for me. She\u2019s the ultimate. And I wouldn\u2019t be anything at all without her. My whole family stood by me 200%. Sometimes, I imagine myself without the kind, understanding family I have, and I know I wouldn\u2019t be where I am today. So I\u2019m grateful. I\u2019d love to thank my soul brothers and friends: they support and believe in me so thoroughly that it can get intimidating, even to my own self. They\u2019ve never wavered, they\u2019ve never slacked. I\u2019m humbled by their love, and inspired by their spirit. They are most of them writers, and I hope to see them all succeed as I have, so I too can be described as a supportive friend in an interview (LOL). I\u2019d also love to thank every poet who wrote for this year\u2019s NSPP. It isn\u2019t easy to do this, I know. Big congratulations to both the Longlisted and shortlisted entrants. To those who didn\u2019t get in, I\u2019d like to say, I know it can be daunting. But I\u2019ve been there before, many times, and I know that efforts count a lot. Every time we try and fail, we cool off and go back to the drawing board, and keep learning till the next test. Let\u2019s keep growing, and building ourselves till we really get to where we want to get to. For me, that\u2019s still a long way off. We\u2019ll see each other at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you so much.\n<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 1.7.8 -->\n<div class=\"quads-location quads-ad3\" id=\"quads-ad3\" style=\"float:none;margin:0px;\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<script>\r\n  (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({\r\n    google_ad_client: \"ca-pub-5983616716487778\",\r\n    enable_page_level_ads: true\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A month ago, Divine Inyang Titus won the 2nd prize of the Nigerian Students Poetry Prize (NSPP) with his poem, \u2018A Naira Shy of Rebirth\u2019.&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5246,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[718],"tags":[848,235,793,721,228,767],"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5195,"url":"https:\/\/www.poetsinnigeria.org.ng\/index.php\/nigerian-students-poetry-prize-nspp-2021-winners-announced\/","url_meta":{"origin":5244,"position":0},"title":"NIGERIAN STUDENTS POETRY PRIZE (NSPP) 2021 WINNERS ANNOUNCED","date":"October 15, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"NIGERIAN STUDENTS POETRY PRIZE (NSPP) 2021 WINNERS ANNOUNCED Adeyemi, Titus, Udeoba win NSPP 2021University of Uyo emerges as top-performing schoolOluwasegun Oluseyi Adesina, Ubeke Mark Eche clinch consolation prizes Poets in Nigeria (PIN) has announced Samuel A.
