ISSUE 1: EDUCATION AS MEDICINE

 For our first issue, we are calling on poets, spoken word artistes, storytellers and artists to submit works that follow the theme. We want to see works that answer questions of; How  education can heal a society, How  education can cater for man's societal needs, Why we need education, Who is responsible for prescribing education as medicine and who is in need. As a literary site inclined towards providing education services and using social media to teach, we value education and we are giving it a place in our first issue!

Send us your best work on this theme. Be bounteous with imagery. Criticize, teach, expose, show and tell. Your work should make us slam the table, for instance. Metaphorical writing is highly welcome, although we'd also like to see works that is relatable to high school students and advanced.
