The Poetry Africa festival, from October 13 to 18, brings
some of the world’s finest poets and musicians to Durban.
The Centre for Creative Arts (University of KwaZulu-Natal),
with principal funding from the City of Durban and the Department of Arts and
Culture, recently sent a call-out to Durban’s creative and undiscovered poets
to take part in the festival Prelude Poets programme as part of the 18th Poetry
Africa International Festival.
Poetry Africa is looking for four of Durban’s brightest
undiscovered poets to take part in the Prelude Poet programme which gives the
city’s creative and original poets the opportunity to showcase their hidden
talents to audiences at the country’s premier poetry festival.
Participants auditioned at The Centre for Creative Arts
(University of KwaZulu-Natal Howard College Campus) and full details will be
released shortly.

KwaZulu-Natal Department of Arts and Culture. The Centre for Creative Arts is
housed in the College of Humanities at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and is a
