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.

Since its inception in 2017, the 20.35 Africa collective has annually published an electronic Anthology of Contemporary African Poetry. The fifth volume will be guest-edited by Sara Elkamel and Chibuihe Obi alongside the collective’s editors: Ebenezer Agu, I.S. Jones, and Precious Okpechi.
On the heels of the third volume of 20.35 Africa’s annual poetry anthology comes the New Poets series, a monthly series that provides individual visibility to contemporary African poets, prioritizing poets living on the continent. Each month, 20.35 Africa editors will choose a poet to be featured on our website and promote their writing through a targeted social media campaign for the duration of the month.
