In his bid to push collaboration between African and middle eastern writers, the highly acclaimed young Nigerian poet, Godspower Oshodin has chosen Dubai as the launching ground for his much anticipated book ‘A Poet Who Died By His Poem’.
Born in Lagos, Nigeria, October 12, 1988 – Godspower Oshodin is a multi-award-winning prolific writer with over a thousand poems in his repertoire. His poetry has been featured in dozens of newspapers and magazines across the world. He was invited to compose the official poem for Nigeria’s 55th Independence Day.
“I chose to launch my book in Dubai, because of the poetry culture embodied across Arabia. My time in the city, exposed me to its heritage and traditions, making it an ideal location for global release. My ambition is to create a footprint for young African writers to collaborate with Arab poets. African literature isn’t fully exposed in the Middle Eastern, this is an opportunity to develop and export literature culture exchange.
Administering wider engagement across creative boundaries, Mr. Oshodin is collaborating with Africa’s Afro-beats genius, Victor Alfred a.k.a Vstix, to produce the first of its kind musical poetry album. Scheduled to launch in March 2021, the 15 tracks album will feature extracts from his new book and will lend voices of various poets to deliver a unique compilation in one body of work.
