This is
to invite interested poets to apply for participation in the first IBPF Poetry
Workshop. The Workshop is specifically for the upcoming and potential Nigerian
writer who desires to be mentored by an established poet. The mentorship
programme is an 8-week workshop via virtual interaction including email
exchanges between mentor-poet and mentee-poet. This interaction will lead to an
invitation to a Residency in Ibadan, for selected poets who fulfil
communicated objectives in the course of their mentorship programme. We welcome
applications from all
interested poets, including beginners and others with publishing history seeking further competence in the art. The main requirement for participation is an evidence of considerable commitment to form/presentation. The first IBPF Poetry Workshop would begin on May, 2 2016, and we are encouraging you to apply.
