We are calling for BEST 1-3 poems per poet from Africa (living in Africa) or of African diasporas (one of the parents originated from Africa) to be included in BEST “NEW” AFRICAN POETS 2016 ANTHOLOGY. Poems of any topic, form…preferably less than 40 lines but we will read and consider longer poems, must be in any African indigenous language plus French, English, and Portuguese. Those in local African indigenous languages should be accompanied by a translation into French, English or Portuguese.
Deadline for entries is 15 October, 2016
“New” maybe newness of form or newness to the genre…, preference will be given to younger poets to help them grow as poets but we are open to older mature 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

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