Widely known as the ‘The Panacea,’ the fast-rising young poet and author these past years has been making his mark in the country’s literary landscape and beyond.
He is featured in a recent anthology of short stories by reputable international publication ‘Wicked Shadow Press’.
His creativity and eloquent flow in poetry has earned him admirers from far and wide and he is recently distinguished for being the only African on the winners' list, which therefore earned him a spot in the publication of IOU Insights Magazine, Issue 14.
The Insights Magazine is a bi-annual magazine by the International Open University that chronicles the academic and higher education institution’s efforts, programmes and strides.
Not only does the magazine present a highlight of the varied interventions and initiatives of the university, but also shares top-notch write-ups and contents championed by students and alumni, marking as a manifestation of the role students as young scholars and faculty members play in propelling IOU towards greater success.
As the latest, the 14th issue highlights the Future of Ethical Finance: Islamic Economics, Banking, and Finance at IOU, Chancellor Dr Bilal Philips’s visits to Malaysia and Indonesia, IOU impact on the UNESCO 42nd General Conference, content on Unlocking Educational Opportunities at IOU: All You Need to Know about Scholarships, IOU CRIS (Conference on Research and Integrated Sciences) Best Paper Winners and key aspects.
The Panacea Poet’s piece is titled ‘Thirst for Knowledge’ and in the words, the young poet reflects upon his journey to IOU, calling it ‘a journey of light’ and ‘a path to the state of becoming the inheritors of the prophets’
Occupying first position is Dr. Syeda Baseera Iqbal, who wrote ‘I OWE YOU’. Salman Sowdagar followed second with ‘IOU IS THE BEST: An Acrostic Poem.’
