I got so high on poetry that I climbed Sheri Hills lol, in fact the last two days has been fun for me and everyone that attended the “Jos Resonates with A Field of Echoes#” and the “Open mic and barbecue on Sheri hills” event that was hosted by COAL (Custodians of African Literature) which is a literary inclined outfit headed by young writers who seek to promote Education, African literature and build up values by using Poetry, Spoken Word, short stories and other forms of creative writing as tools. They hope to see a society of youths who will be involved in building up a more creative, intelligent and proactive Nigeria and Africa through literature. They train, coach and mentor interested youths in the art of spoken word, poetry and creative writing. SEEMORE PICTURES BELOW..
