Chin Ce
 Agent: Progeny International
ENG, Nigeria Email: chincee_uk@yahoo.co.uk A member of the new generation of African writers from Nigeria, with two volumes of poetry collections, a dozen published short fiction and a novel. Chin Ce is an avid contributor to contemporary discourse in Africa and African literary criticism. He has severally worked as graphic editor, columnist, column editor, essayist and reader for magazines and publishing companies. Among the new generation of African poets he is becoming the most individualised, blazing an entirely unique style of writing which is at once original and intrinsically home-drawn. His poetry has been able to fire the imagination of readers with its iconoclastic vision that debunks established religious and traditional notions. Yet his sensitivity has found parallels in the social and political transitions of African societies which he has doggedly portrayed in his fictions.
Chin Ce’s poetry is enlivened by rich nuances of love, friendships, loyalty and faith to an ideal -qualities that lie at the heart of his fascination for music, nature and spirit, and which demonstrate his commitment to all that is true and eternal. His fictions, on the contrary, are barely disguised satires on the defects of modern African societies ruined by local leaders who rank next to nothing on the leadership scale. The impact of such less than desirable phenomenon on the abilities and resources of the individual is, however, of paramount concern. Interests: music, poetry, spirituality
