Serious Leisure Podcast Ep #16 - Accidental poets

Adukwu, Emmanuel; Unekwu-Ojo Ogu, Immanuel

Abstract

How does an activity you start doing alone in your home snowball into a vibrant, active group of people, generating, sharing and critiquing ideas? In this episode we hear how Dr Emmanuel Adukwu and Father Immanuel Unekwu-Ojo Ogu journeyed from writing poetry for an audience of one, to creating a dynamic and nurturing writing collective that reaches round the globe, where poets can hone their craft together, even evolving writing into a form of activism. Their story reminds us we don’t always need a clear plan to see where our leisure takes us, just a willingness to share what we have.
