I am Senator Ihenyen, a Lagos-based Nigerian writer currently studying Law at the University of Benin, Benin City. I write poetry, short fiction and also engage in literary research. Outspoken, a Uk organisation in 2006 recognised me as one of those pushing the boundaries of African literature. Literatur ad Art, a Barcelona-based literary site recently featured me as ''the true voice of Africa''. My first book, 'Colourless Rainbow: Poetry of My Childhood' is a volume of poems forthcoming from the award-winning Lagos-based Coast2Coast Publishing in the first quarter of 2010. Currently, I'm working on the last chapter of a non-fiction manuscript, 'Complete Poetry: for Students and Writers'. It is an academic text on the genre of poetry written with a literary approach. Also, on World AIDS Day this year, 2009, I launched 'Ripples Across Lives: Poetry Against HIV/AIDS', an awareness and sensitisation project which will culminate in the writing of RIPPLES ACROSS LIVES, a volume of poems targeted at youths and People living with HIV/AIDS.
