Township's 2018 poetry sessions

Staff Reporter
Township Productions will be launching the 2018 edition of the bi-monthly poetry project on 8 February at the Goethe Institute Namibia.

This poetry project takes place in cooperation with the Goethe Institute Namibia in the promotion and hosting of poetry sessions.

The first session will take place at the institute under the theme 'Love is... Is love, love' and will precede the celebration of Valentine's Day. Township Productions has produced various poetry projects, including numerous poetry workshops, four editions of World Poetry Month commemoration, five volumes of poetry publications and a regional poetry competition for secondary schools in the Erongo Region. This year, Township Productions will again organise and host six poetry sessions over 12 months. The primary objectives of the Bi-monthly Poetry Project are as to promote poetry as a creative and sustainable activity in the Namibian arts sector, to create a poetry platform for younger and established poets to interact and share skills in writing techniques, recitation and performances and to document poetry activities through publishing, video and audio recordings. Interested poets who would like to present and share their thoughts and emotions on the above theme are invited to submit poems to [email protected].
