I am a big fan of poetry. I wrote poetry extensively while in college performing at Poetry jam sessions on campus. I just recently picked up writing poetry again. Some talented, gifted poets that I think you absolutely will be inspired by.
Bassey Ikpi: The five time Def Jam Poet Ikpi captures the struggles that I feel persons like myself and most of you readers can relate to in "Homeward." The so called "Afropolitans" caught in what I call the corridors of culture. What is so beautiful about her poetry is that it transcends being African and just has a human element that resonates with most. For all things Bassey Ikpi visit her website www.basseyworld.com.
