About
Sentinel
Literary Movement of Nigeria.
Sentinel Literary Movement of
Nigeria was established on November 15, 2009 as the
Nigerian chapter of Sentinel Poetry Movement which
was founded in December 2002 by Nnorom Azuonye.
Azuonye has held the dream of a Nigerian arm of
Sentinel for a long time and back in 2005 had
discussed the idea with Tolu Ogunlesi, but the plans
were a little premature and fizzled out.
The time is right for Sentinel
to begin this journey in Nigeria and contribute its
little bit to the development of Nigerian
literature. Richard Ali is a young man who shares
the passion and vision of Sentinel. He has the
double burden of serving as the first Administrator
of Sentinel Literary Movement of Nigeria and Editor
of the movement's online magazine; Sentinel Nigeria.
In accepting the challenge, Richard summed up his
mission; "...to join in the expansion of the
Sentinel stable. To add perhaps my energy and
optimism and whatever else is needed to create
something that will outlast us all."
Sentinel Literary Movement of
Nigeria is set to galvanise the Nigerian literary
environment through discussions, lectures, symposia,
debates, critiques and publication of the very best
in contemporary Nigerian writing.
