BEST “NEW” AFRICAN POETS 2015: 100 poems, 100 poets

We are calling for BEST 1-3 poems per poet from Africa (living in
Africa) or of African descent (Diasporas) to be included in BEST “NEW”
AFRICAN POETS 2015: 100 Poems, 100 Poets Anthology. Poems of any
topic, form… but less than 40 lines, must be in any 3 languages;
French, English, and Portuguese. The anthology to be edited by Tendai
Mwanaka and Daniel de Purificacao, is earmarked for publication by
Langaa RPCIG (Cameroon)

Deadline for entries is 15 October, 2015

“New” maybe newness of form or newness to the genre…, preference will
be given to younger poets to help them grow as poets

Entries should be in one doc, include also your contact information,
country of stay or country of origin and a bio note of not more than
50 words

We are looking at selecting: English poets- 40 poets
                                                   French poets- 30 poets
                                                   Portuguese poets- 20 poets
                                                   Guests poets- 10
poets (by invitation only)

Unfortunately due to financial constraints we won’t be offering
contributors free copies but poets will benefit immensely from this
exposure.

Entries should be sent to Tendai Mwanaka or Daniel Purificacao on these emails:
mwanaka@yahoo.com or danieljose26@yahoo.com.br
