As the year continues to run, the call continues with this month’s theme being “lost and found”. What are those events you have thoughts of constantly? Those emotions, those people, those opportunities? Have you that one poem that speaks to the heart of our theme? Then this call is for you.

Poets, especially younger poets are encouraged to send in a single original, unpublished poem. Please inform us immediately if the submitted work is published elsewhere before the winner is announced. Previously submitted work is ineligible.

This edition’s entries will be judged by Dr. Funmi Gaji. Dr. Funmi Gaji is the editor at Cactus Communication and the author of the poetry collection, Script of Bruises. She is also a book reviewer, literary critic, researcher and book translator (Yoruba to English).
