Nigerian Critic And Author, Augusta Okon Says Film Adaptations Can Revive Reading Culture

For Nigeria's film critic and author, Augusta Okon, literature and films have always been her first love, way back from childhood days. At 14, she had become an author under the wings of Nelson publishers with her short story, ‘Bola and the kidnappers’. The NTA Network News (prime time) reported the launching event, while the iconic actor, now Member of the Federal Republic (MFR) Kanayo.O.Kanayo was the Master of ceremonies at the event. She was also a guest on the long rested popular Morning Ride show. She won the maiden edition of the International Children’s Convention in ‘93 organized by  Inter-classic Ltd. Two years later, her second short story, ‘Trust No One’ was also published by Nelson. 

She took a French leave to study Law at the University of Ibadan and proceeded to the Nigerian Law School. She was one of the 30 ‘Student Achievers’ named by the Faculty of law in the university’s convocation brochure in 2003, ‘in recognition of the outstanding performance recorded at the 2003 Bar Final exams’. She has directed her legal skills at the Entertainment circuit and is now a lady of many parts. As a film critic, her professional reviews have been published online and in some National dailies. This critique skill has paved the way to her being a member of the jury at the IN- Short International film festival 2012,and a film screener for AMAA 2013. Her articles, dominantly on the Nigerian movie industry, has earned her Platinum status on Ezine articles, the world’s leading article site, and has stimulated and provoked thoughts on various subject maters. 

This is What I Think About Poetry - Do You Agree?

 

Poetry without any element of doubt remains one of the deepest forms of expression in the literary world and there are several reasons why this is so.

For instance, while the average reader might pick up a work of prose and enjoy the thrill of reading a story narrated from point 'A' (beginning) to point 'B' (the end), poetry usually requires more than a single read.

This explains why a poem like 'The Washer Woman's Prayer' or 'Richard Cory' would strike the reader on such a subliminal note that the mind is lured towards breezing through the verses yet again.

Such is one of the distinct features of poetry.

Is there any one out there who agrees or disagrees with this?
