CONGRATULATIONS to Iyanuoluwa Adenle, whose poem ''Babe'' was chosen by Othuke Umukoro as the WINNER OF THE KOFI AWOONOR POETRY PRIZE, 2024.
The judge was moved by the poem's slippery enjambment and, by extension, its heart.
Iyanuoluwa will receive $100 and the winning poem will be published in the 2024 December issue of Pepper Coast Lit.
