ABOUT BLEEDING INK GLOBAL WRITERS SOCIETY AND POETRY FORUM
Bleeding Ink Global Poetry Exchange Initiative (BIGPE)

is a creative writing platform that was conceived in the year 2020. Founder and director Mr. Bonface Otieno as a young poet and upcoming writer found it so hard as a young ambitious poet to find the right training, support, and platforms to showcase his writing skills and creative abilities. This was not only his misfortune but also of many other young African poets like him. This is what motivated the inception (BIGPE) and became a drive years later. this platform is an umbrella of poets across the globe that supports the creation of cultural assets to provide a space for dialogue and literary exchange. Poets all over the world through annual entry into poetry exchange come together in an egalitarian, non-commercial space for cultural exchange triggering debates, creativity, and innovation. This initiative objectively brings literature to more readers to ensure a means of facilitating lively conversations around the world and literature. In summary, Bleeding Ink Global Poetry Initiative is guided by the following general objectives:
To promote poetry exchange across the globe
To support member growth in the industry
To promote and appreciate the world’s diverse cultures.
To facilitate mentorship and consistent training for upcoming poets/writers
To provide a platform for upcoming creative writers
To facilitate research, critical reviews, and dissemination of literature on world’s emerging issues.
To publish and establish upcoming poets.
To promote the rebirth of productive education.
To promote a positive reading culture among learners, scholars, and the general society.

HOME IS TERRIFYING!
We were always told, “East or West, home is best,” this saying made each one of us look forward to returning home regardless of how good we were treated while we visited our neighbours.

We wrote letters to mama, asking her to make us our favourite food because East or West, her food always stood out. Our neighbours did have good music, but nothing would beat the chanting’s of the men in our home while they sang freedom of speech when it was still free.

But now we hate growing up, because the phrase “East or West home is best” turned out to be the biggest scam of our lives.

Home is now terrifying to come back to because mother lost her freedom of speech, home is terrifying because dining’s turned into dark rooms where our elders meet to discuss who to kill next to take over the kingdom.

Home is now terrifying because we stopped being connected by blood but rather by the colour of our flag. Home is terrifying because greed and power took over humanity and love, and all my leaders do is ask us to be grateful for our past.

Home is terrifying because mother’s food that we looked forward to coming to is now unaffordable, and this is not because we can’t afford it but because mother’s rich land is being turned into tall buildings with fake water falls.

They say history repeats itself, so I do hope and pray to our forefathers of what was once a great home to come back to, that mother’s unborn children will still make a meaning out of “East or West, home is best”. And as for me and my siblings, we shall keep bleeding and pleading to the elders about our freedom to speak of things that are making our home fall apart.
