Poetry appears easy and the assumption is that anything can be chopped into verse, deign to rhyme or altered to sound purposeful by syntactic subversion. If anything can be manipulated to be poetry, then anybody can be a poet! Dami Ajayi (Nigeria) and L-Ness (Kenya) will lead training on the positioning of contemporary poetry.
