What a circle! 🔥 We dove deep into the economics of poetry, how to write death beautifully, finding our position, staying consistent, and building real creative relationships. Tavola was full of truth yesterday. Until next time! @IbuaPublishing
This October, the circle meets again at Tavola Restaurant. Bring your written poem, bring your heart and let’s learn together
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, UGANDA
At Lantern Meet Foundation, we believe independence lives in every story told, every poem written, and every voice that dares to speak. From our circle to every Ugandan at home and in the diaspora - Happy Independence Day!
For God and My Country.
Pay for one, Get two!! Our Writers’ workshop for the quarter will be at the Jinja International Poetry Festival and the fares shall run as per the pricing of the festival.
