Through our New Poet series, 20.35 Africa has worked to promote and give individual visibility to young, up-and-coming poets from the African continent. We have made a few changes to the guidelines and urge you to read them carefully before nominating poets for the series.

Currently in its seventh year, the 20.35 Africa Anthology Series is the longest-running anthology for living African poets. In the same legacy as Black Orpheus
In accordance with our annual publications, 20.35 Africa is happy to announce this call for submissions to the Sixth Volume of our anthology. This year’s guest editors are Safia Jama and Nick Makoha, who will be working with the organization’s editors – Ebenezer Agu, I.S. Jones, and Precious Okpechi.
The 20.35 Africa team is looking for two editorial interns to join our team. While the first internship is for a graphic designer, we will prioritize applicants who are passionate about poetry or literature. The second intern will work with our editor, Portia Opare in handling the Conversations series and must be passionate about contemporary poetry.
With no orientation on what contemporary African poetry means to us all in this age, we remain ungrounded as readers and scholars. As such, 20.35 Africa’s Interview Series will provide an engaging space for stakeholders of contemporary African poetry to help shape the production of a relevant body of knowledge on the criticism of African poetry.
