Poet
Saddiq M Dzukogi had all attention focused on him yesterday by family, friends
and fans at the Amab Bookshop, Minna when the Arts-Muse Fair blog hosted him on
its debut artists’ showcase event, Arttention.
The
event gave attention to the poetry and person of Saddiq Dzukogi, one of the
finest from Nigeria’s tribe of young, prolific poets. It came fittingly well,
as the poet prepares to leave for America later this month for his doctoral
studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where he would be an Othmer
Fellow.
Saddiq
Dzukogi read poems from his latest book, Inside the Flower Room. There were
discussions on his poetry and his life of writing and scholarship. Guests won prizes
of books in a quiz centred on the remarkable life and writings of the poet.
Saddiq
Dzukogi was a finalist in the 2017 Brunel International African Poetry Prize.
He is a fellow of the Ebedi International Writers Residency.
