The theme of EAPHB 2024 is “Capitalizing on Creativity: Unlocking Economic Opportunities through Poetic Expression.”

Within the rhythmic cadences and lyrical melodies of their verses, East African poets paint vivid portraits of life, love, struggle, and triumph, offering glimpses into the rich tapestry of human existence that defines the region.

Moreover, beyond its aesthetic allure, poetry serves as a potent catalyst for socio-economic transformation, igniting conversations and sparking ideas that have the potential to unlock new avenues of opportunity and prosperity.

In exploring the role of creativity in this context, we recognize poetry’s power to inspire innovation, foster entrepreneurship, and drive sustainable development.

By harnessing the creative energy of East African poets, we aim to catalyze a cultural renaissance that not only enriches the artistic landscape of the region but also propels its economic growth.

Through poetry, we aspire to amplify voices, stimulate dialogue, and cultivate a fertile ground for collaboration and exchange, ultimately paving the way for a future where creativity is not only celebrated but also recognized as a powerful engine for progress and prosperity. Thus the core agenda of the poetic hour battle.

Join us on 25th May in Kisumu at the Sarova Imperial Hotel from 6 pm for a gala performance of its kind.
