March 15th:
The OGOV team is growing. Julian and I are proud to announce that we've added two new representatives to OGOV - Vida Ayitah (Ghanaian Promotions) and Prince Mensah (North American Promotions). Julian is now in charge of European promotions and African promotions outside of Ghana. To help clear up "who does what", we've also added a "Masthead" link in the sidebar.
Already busy at work, Vida and Prince could always use your assistance. Most notably, Vida is beginning efforts to boost OGOV's profile in Ghana through the news media and through a postering campaign. If you live in Ghana and are interested in helping, email us at oneghanaonevoice(at)gmail.com, or email Vida directly at akusefako(at)yahoo.com, and we'll set you to work!

January 5th: Last month's African Drums Book and Poetry Festival organized by Mbizo Chirasha in Harare reportedly went very well. Emmanuel Sigauke has posted photos from the event on his Munyori Poetry Journal site. You can view the photos here.
Congrats to Mbizo and all who assisted him!

January 4th: In order to reduce clutter on the site, we've broken our "Archives" and "News and Notices" pages up by year - all the content from both still exists on back pages, but the initial page for each is now just 2008 content.
2007 News and Notices Archive
This page has been created as an attempt to forge connections between those interested in, and knowledgeable about, Ghanaian poetry. If you would like to post a Ghanaian poetry-related notice: an event listing, a question, a submission call, etc. please email us at oneghanaonevoice(at)gmail.com. Subject line: "Notices".
