Denrele

Contains 5 collection items, 4 performances, 9 in total. Currently showing 9 in total.

Denrele (Ogunwa) is a journalist and poet currently residing in England. Her poetry, articles and columns have appeared in newspapers and magazines in Nigeria and England. An aesthete and lover of jazz music, Denrele's muses are passion, darkness and light, not necessarily in that order. Her poems re-echo the theme of escape from night into dawn, a consistent search for doorways that lead out and away from the present into some other place full of promises and new beginnings. She is featured in the German translation of Nigerian poetry selected by Uche Nduka, Junge Nigerianische Lyrik. She has a degree in Political Science.  Taken fromhttps://www.africanwriter.com/children-of-the-netherworld-poems-by-denrele-ogunwa/

  • Have I Got Poems For You

    Have I Got Poems For You

    4 March 2005 at 
    Battersea Arts Centre (London - Wandsworth) (499)
    An overambitious idea based on the similarly titled TV show. The poets would do their sets in between exercising their spontaneous wit and responding to recent items of poetry ‘news’ (such as Joelle Taylor getting a new tattoo). Seemed like a good idea at the time…
