I couldn’t understand some parts of this article POETRY COMPETITION, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
Daniel, if you need any more clarifications about this, you can call our office or send an email to matathia@kwani.org
Really want to be part of the competition.
I need more details, however. thanks. great job by the way
upto three entries implies submission of three poems or what?
I would to ask, what does this poem require to be written about? because the subject is wide, and again, what should it drive at the end of the day? should it portray the role of a man regardless of the situation in which he encounters himself?
