After his early education at the Native Administration Schools, Okrika and Jeremi(Otughievwen), in the Western Niger Delta, he went on to study at the Government College, Ughelli and the University College, Ibadan. It was during his study of English at University of Ibadan, that he began to catch the attention of the general public. He became the editor of the Students’ Union magazine the Beacon, and the first editor of the Horn, the poetry journal at the University College, Ibadan, which launched modern Nigerian poetry in English. It introduced Christopher Okigbo and Wole Soyinka.
J.P. Clark was the pre-eminent poet of a unique period of the 20th century in Africa. This was a time when a few nascent, post-colonial, English speaking African writers, side by side with their French and Portuguese African counterparts, created African literature, a global literary genre that is studied in several universities around the world.
