POETRY POTTER Wine Party 0|2

December last year was the very first time we asked member of the audience to come with a bottle of wine for POETRY POTTER, and it was awesome.

Baileys, Champagne, Hennessey, Whiskey – Red Label, Black Label were few among the wines that Poetry Potter lovers brought for the celebration. We also relaxed with some episode of Fuji House of Commotion as directed by Chris Ihidero who was our Guest Artiste for that edition of the programme.

We are calling you again to come and SAVE the last DANCE...it's our last event for the year. You will arrive on the REDCARPET and proceed to see the latest technique in the theatre world by Lekan Balogun, in his new play title “SOYINKA in the EYE of SHAKESPEARE.”

For the 32nd edition of this monthly event, there shall be no Guest Artiste. But as part of the plan for this annual event, the publisher of DADA Books will be celebrating the birthday of his first author – JUMOKE VERISSIMO, the author of I AM MEMORY whose name recently appeared on the Future Awards 2010 Nominees list for the Creative Artist of the Year. Sure, we will cut some cake, if not more than that.

And afterward, you shall throw more than two fingers in air as there will be cakes and small chops to accompany the wine, while the DJ rocks your body through the night with some groovy songs.

STILL! POETRY POTTER is the BIGDEAL!

VISA: Your WINE(s), be it soft or hard, we will ICE them for you.

DressCODE: Make sure you never leave your SWAGGER behind!

Everything is all about POETRY!

POETRY POTTER Youth Forum

As announced by the Producer and Artistic Director of The GTBank Poetry Festival, Ben Tomoloju, in his press release on the festival, Poetry Potter, as a literary arts (poetry/spokenword) platform has been chosen to be part of the maiden edition of the would-be yearly festival, sponsored by GTBank.

As a literary arts platform, Poetry Potter has won the hearts of arts and literary enthusiasts. It is wholly youth-centred and does not alienate adults who are regarded as the reservoir of wisdom from which the younger generation must drink.

And for the first time in the history of the monthly event, the organisers will be coordinating the first POETRY POTTER Youth Forum during the festival. The catch is, "poetry-its genesis and future in the Nigeria literary arts scene."

The renowned poet, Odia Ofeimun, will take us through the genesis of poetry, root of poetry in Nigeria and Africa, Akeem Lasisi, the folk poet, will expatiate on it from the folk/orature point of view, while Sage Has.son, the Nigerian spokenword exponent will tackle the present phase of poetry which is "Hip-Poetry," and the future of poetry/spokenword in Nigeria will be decided afterwords.

Come join the discussion. It's going to be an evening of talk and performances as the OPEN MIC segment of Poetry Potter will be alive.
