Poetry is sometimes like an endless round of parties. I’m going to the Poesiefestival Berlin, where I’ll see Chiwoniso and Keamogetsi Molapong again after 2 years, where we first met at Poetry Africa. Not wanting to name drop … but what the hell? Our National Poet Laureate Keorapetse Kgositsile will also be there. Another strange and interesting experience of going to Europe to meet Africans. But I’m really looking forward to sleeping at the Berlin Ritz Carlton for four nights. And being immersed in poetry up to the tips of my hair.
