Call for Submissions: The African Poetry Anthology (Africa-wide)

From Kristin Wilson: Recently, a number of peers and I have been trying to put together a collection of poetry written in African languages. In our experience, there has not been much of that sort of poetry and we believe that even poetry about Africa and/or by Africans that is not couched in our various languages does our languages disservice. The project is very much in its nascent stages and we would appreciate it if you could help spread the word about this amateur but nonetheless exciting project.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The African Poetry Anthology (http://africanpoetryanthology.wordpress.com) is seeking submissions of poems in African languages. Send your poem and its English translation to africanpoetryanthology@gmail.com.

The project aims to promote the written study and use of African languages which are often more spoken than written. The ultimate goal is to turn the online publication into a published book, and hopefully turn this into a sustainable project.
