Thanks, Kwadwo, good to hear from you, but I’m trying to create a database of pre-1980s Ghanaian poets and make examples of their work available online by trawling through published work. Do you fall in this category?
This is a good website and I look forward to seeing more African and Ghanaian Poets sign up to this for the good of the literary works that we all admire and cherish
