Poetry is the genre of literature which evokes emotive responses through styles and conventions that may lend themselves to different interpretations. Beyond the composition of words that rhyme or lines which are distinguished by their rhythm or beat, poetry is pithy in structure. Good poetry conveys meaning with a few, apt words.

Poetry is a literary art that deploys the aesthetic qualities and brevity of language to stir meanings that are literal implied or imaginative, through deliberate form and structure.

About the Author

Titi Horsfall is a novelist and poet. She is fascinated with the concept of purposes, value for humanity, freedom in society, and goodwill on earth. Really lofty goals, but they speak to the hearts of many. Everyone needs love, a safe place to grow roots, and a chance to dream and pursue it.

Titi’s thoughts are warmed by global themes that have far-reaching impacts on individuals. Taking up a place as a writer, was for her, simply walking in ‘obedience.’ She knows first-hand, the burning passion that fills one’s heart when a story, a scene, or a dialogue tug persistently, and only finds release when penned. She has asked herself many times, why the pull to certain subjects? While she grows in this understanding, she gladly submits to the joy that floods her heart when she commits.

Her writing style takes on literary fiction, with elaborate contexts of history. She also drops in spices of romantic themes while at it. Titi works well with details gained from research, and through the application of her imagination, ensures that her audience is carried along from the first to the last page in a pleasurable reading experience. As a poet, she is quite traditional and opts for simple, structured poetry.

A recipient of the African Literature Prize, she did pick up golfing as a sport, but primarily to enjoy her walk through greens and beautiful landscapes.
